LX10: A-10C Firehandles. 3D Printed Firehandles with pull mechanism and switch. The handle has a diffuser installed, for easy installation of a yellow LED. They fit into the Glareshield im selling, but can also be used alone, by just screwing it to a surface. Are sold in set, or as single handles. The parts are printed in 0.1mm height, but can easily be painted and sanded down to hide the printing layers. A guide to do this will be shown in the future. LED and wires is not included. but LED's can be purchased at a later state, with a DCS BIOS Box for making it all work. Top view of Firehandle Box: Bottom View of Firehandle Box: Handle lit with a single 1,8mm Yellow LED in a semi dark room. Here is a Video of the Mechanism: You can buy it from my webshop, here: http://lynx.dk/product/a-10c-firehandle/

LX13: A-10C Complete Glareshield. 3D Printed Glareshield, Complete with 3 Firehandles and all the screws needed for assembling. The Complete set can be installed onto an existing MIP with the included template for drilling, but will also fit the Glareshield Plans i will release for free in the near future. The parts are printed in 0.2mm height, but can easily be painted and sanded down to hide the printing layers You can buy it from my webshop, here: http://lynx.dk/product/a-10c-glareshield/

the Ultimaker is also on the list of printers i might try in the future. And of those 2 you mention there, i would definately say the Ultimaker, simply because of the closet cabinet. Now you asked of cons and pro's before, and there is one thing my printer have, that i cant seem to find any indication that any of those other 2 you mention have. And that is a Automated HeatBed Scan function. Which basically emans that even if your printbed is not 100% lvl, the printer can scan it, and still make straight and level prints. Thats a Huge help :)

Thank you for the nice words Mac. Your MIP is looking Awesome, and im happy to see real instruments installed :) You did a nice job on the sanding and painting, its impossible to see its not a single unit. Great Job :thumbup:

Im glad you like it, and i must say that it looks really good with it all sanded and painted the same color :) And its nice to see real instruments mounted on it... As i mentioned earlier, 3D Prints are more Tough than people might think, it all depends on how you design and print it :) Well this model makes really nice prints, i have had some experience with some of my friends "cheaper" models, from Velleman, and they can not make half a nice print as this one. But the next printer im going to purchase is probably something like a Makerbot Replicator, to try out other manufactors, and see the differences. :)

I have not mentioned it before. I have this one: http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/1007508/3D-printer-Renkforce-RF1000-Single-extruder-incl-Franzis-Design-CAD-V24-3D-?ref=list

The MIP Center piece does support real Devices, and the MIP cuttings will too... but im also making this version, for people using Helios on a monitor. Of course those instruments that cant be covered in a monitor, will be made as real instruments.

Thank you Lars, and your right, a little paint and sanding it down, and you end up with a nice smooth surface :)

And here to show the MIP Center Piece together with the Glareshield, which are also in the final stages of being testet with real instruments, and then that will also be available. Im sorry about the MDF MIP, but im using this material to test everything, before making the final version. Its cheaper to work with.

Here is a couple of Pictures of the Glareshield Mounted on my "glass cockpit" version of the MIP drawing, which will be released soon, i just need to doublecheck everything. It shows the Glareshield as it is, tho here shown without Firehandles. Its easy to mount from the back on whatever MIP you allready have, as i will provide a template PDF for the mounting holes, 1:1 for easy drilling. It is build in sections, as shown ealier, and i did this so its easier to print that way, and it also makes the shipping a whole lot simpler. It will because of that, have tiny gaps between the sections when its screwed together, but most of those will be covered with the Aluminum Mounting plate for the UFC, that will be available later on. If you dont like the Gaps, or the 3D printing marks, you can also pretty easy fill em up and paint them, and i will provide a guide for that, its a very simple task. But here it is, the pictures should speak for themself. The Glareshield is now ready for sale, and will be added to the sales section in a couple of days. but ordering is now possible.

I can maybe lathe one for you..... if we get ecxact dimensions

If i were you, i would find a tube which outer diameter fits into that, and then make it as long as possible, and then glue it all together with epoxy. If that wont hold, i dont think anything will.

I thought i would show you the Firehandles with light on. The first 2 pictures is taken with a worklight right above it, to show you how it looks in a room with the lights on. And the second 2 pictures i turned off the light above the handle, but there is still light in the room. This one has a single 1,8mm Yellow LED in it, but there is plenty of room for more if one would like. There is no engravings on this one, because i just want to show you guy how the diffuser looks. So here it is. And with lights Turned off.

I apologizes for the delay on updates, but there have been many things to tend to the past couple of months. Here is the CMSC Panel as promised, with the Dimensions Provided by Duckling, thank you very much Gus :) http://lynx.dk/blueprints/A-10C%20CMSC%20Panel%20Outer%20Dimensions.pdf Right now im working on finishing the Top drawing of the MIP so it fits the Glareshield. And after having recieved some dimensions for the Glareshield, i have accually made it deeper, like the original, and that made it possible for me to make a more easy installation to the MIP. It also means i have reworked the Firehandles, and the Panel Housings. Unfortunally that also means More 3D Printed material, which i have not taken into account of the price i released here in the thread earlyer. Of course the price at that time was before i had real dimensions to go from, but its still unfortunate. I am still working on it tho, and i hope to be finished very soon, and i will make the price as close as possible to what i released earlyer, as this is obviously not your fault :) The Glareshield if what im using all my time on atm, for those of you who where interested. Also the MIP Drawings are close to be done.... and will be released soon as well. And the way that is going to happen, is that i tend to release it in Versions. So if i make improvements later on, i will release a new version. The same im thinking about doing with the Consoles, AcesII and the Cockpit Itself... So people can pick whatever version works for them.

Remember to change the seatpan.... that one looks like the F-16.

I will share the MIP Drawing yes, with all the holes and cutouts for the panels, instruments / Bezels , Center Piece and Glareshield Mounting holes. :)

Hey Lars. The dimensions i have released is only the outline of the panels, i dont have the real 100% positions of all the switches etc. And i havent begun to design all of those panels yet, so if you want to design them using my dimensions i think you should :) We are doing this for the community, and i think its nice that you release drawings for those who want to make their own panels. Right now im working on the MIP drawing, which will be released in DXF when its done.... im accually about to cut it out to be sure its working with the glareshield etc. When im done with that im going to produce the Panels and bezels. But if you want to design the panels, i say go on with it :) the more information and options available for the community, the better :)

Hello, and welcome to the forum. That is really good looking, Nice work.

I do it that way too, and just use double sided tape as you mention, directly on the paint, if the paint get the time to harden, i have never seen it peel off... of course that would depend on the paint :) and also the tape i guess.

Sorry bout that :)

Imagine the feeling from a motor shaker setup like that when you fire the Cannon in the A-10 :P

Found the First Link: [ame] [/ame] And the second: [ame] [/ame]

You can also adjust the butt kicker to reach from High tones. But im not sure i can find the Link, i will try to look for it, because there was a guy, which made a buttkicker, but is worked from software, not sound... and he could adjust how it should react to what task. The kicker itself was a motor attached to a wooden plate... Ill post the link if i find it. Alternatively i have seen some solutions for exactly what you mention, the Wheel Up Thump... by using a buttkicker and a second Sound Card... and then a piece of software that send those sounds to the device.... ill try to look for that link too :P
