Thank you all for your comments and feedback! I can't wait to share the next project. Here's a question - can we get to 1000 subscribers by the end of the year? Only if you hit that subscribe button! Cheers!
Can you share a link to the torsion springs you used?
I love you 🫡 can’t wait for you to make a russian styled stick ;)
Looks good! I have made Yours F4 stick and it came out perfect. I see several different versions of the housing and the trigger. Which ones should I use for the microswithes version?
This one would be Trigger_Housing and Trigger_1 from this page: www.printables.com/model/631511-universal-flight-sim-trigger-module-by-thesimnet/files
Great work. I'm going to steal some of my wife's hair clips. Could you post a link to the limit switches you are using?
Yes absolutely, I used these www.amazon.ca/dp/B0C8TKLXW1?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details and also these www.amazon.ca/Twidec-Action-Button-Switch-KW11-3Z01/dp/B07P4CVYNH
I've been contemplating a DIY stick for some time now and a dual stage trigger has been a major consideration, you have SOLVED that problem. Thanks.
great work!! thanks so much for sharing it with the community 👍🏼
Nice work.
Looks great!
Thank you for all your help!
What is the difference in the multiple trigger models and the 2 housing models? Thanks.
The V1 trigger and housing are the tact switch bases triggers, everything else are hte microswitch based triggers. The differences between them are dimensional, one is for an F-15 stick, one is for an F-4 phantom stick, and the other is for an F-18 stick, but they will all function the same way
I've only got access to a resin printer currently but I want to give some custom building a go
Looking forward to print and build your f-5 flight stick design and making the trigger this way. One question regarding the spring though, how many degrees should it have? 60, 90, 120, 180?
Brilliant solution! Is there any concern with potentially shearing off the buttons from the microswitches due to being loaded sideways?
Thank you! Yes there is - I went through about 20-25 prints before finding an set of angles that reduced the wear to an acceptable level. I think the combination of the softer PLA and reduced angle should keep the change of a shear low. I have been using one of these heavier triggers for about a month now and I haven't had any reduction in sensation, but I will definitely make an update post if something changes.
A pro micro fidget toy that counts actuations might be the play! 🤣
Fantastic work! Thanks for all your work and for sharing this with us.
amazing project and well engineered, thank you !
Great work! You ought to consider MJF or SLS printing for these since the durability is much higher than FDM. Or you can go all in and make these parts with DMLS. I'd expect the cost to be under a hundred bucks.
👍
Really great work. I did something similar in function with an airsoft design of mine. Airsoft has terrible triggers compared to their real counterparts. I achieved the break action with a flexible printed spring as part of the sear. I'm wondering if the sideways force on your switches will result in an eventual shearing?
Great work! So much inspiration there!
Awesome! Cant wait for the next video! Your trigger assembly may be the first thing I print on my new Ender 3 v2 neo!
Thanks man! That is a sweet rig!
Great job! Could you please tell me how you made the sticks? I have the entire bottom part of my own done, but can not figure out how to do the top. I am trying to modal a t-37 stick I bought and it is slightly different than the ones you already have. Also different electronics so I cant just steal yours. Please let me know! Thanks you for your time!
Great, just like Otto U2.
Do you make throttle quadrants?
pretty amazing stuff man!
Amazing work! Would you also care to include the files for that very first, early design you have shown, involving a microswitch whose lever then hits the second stage tact switch? It would be useful for when the opposite of mil-spec is required, like you mentioned for arcade sims like mechwarrior or space sims with long trigger times (where you want very light actuation force).
Yes absolutely! Those are uploaded as Housing_V1 and Trigger_V1
@@thesimnet fan-tastic! :)
@@thesimnet which of the trigger models in your download is the best for the lastest design ? and we are waiting in anticipation for the new version you mentioend in the video :) Merry xmas btw
@@dcmol83 Merry Christmas to you as well! Both models are backwards compatible. Still a work in progress, I have sent out versions to my testers and currently awaiting feedback!
Im building an ah64 cyclic and its a dual stage trigger. Couldnt figure out a good way to do it. Thank you!!
That's awesome! My pleasure!
Amazing job! I've done something similar but yours is better in terms of feelings of stages. Is there any .step file to modify it a little and easier integrate in my project?
Thank you Sergeyi! Unfortunately there is no .step as this is a mesh created in Blender
I bought the PLA basic filament from Bambu lab for this model. Do you think I did right?
Yes I use PLA basic in all my prototypes and it works just fine!
Great work!
Congrats on the sponsor!
Thank you Astro! 😄
Need more info on the torsion spring, what angle? How many turns?
Hi the Torsion spring I am using is .9mm thickness, 7 turns, total width 6.35mm
The V1 trigger uses these springs:
1x 0.5615 0.5mm Wire Diameter, 6mm Width, 15mm Length 304 Steel Spring
1x 0.5915 0.5mm Wire Diameter, 9mm Width, 15mm Length 304 Steel Spring
Hey, nice vid ☺️
Excellent work!
