Firedawg Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I am in dire need of knobs for my panels. I have the equipment and supplies needed to create my own knobs, the only issue I have is I don't own any of the original knobs for the A-10 panels in order to make a cast mold. If anyone has the correct knobs and would be willing to send me one of each type so I can make my molds please let me know. I only need them for a short time and will pay to have them shipped and returned to you when i am finished. ~Firedawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 So this is why you did not want to order a complete set? Interesting https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Firedawg Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Actually I do want to order a complete set, I just can only afford one console at the moment and will be able to order the other console in December. Not to mention If you only had my order and not an additional three, then you still would not make any, so I am screwed either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedawg Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 So this is why you did not want to order a complete set? Interesting Is there anything wrong with asking for help with a project? Is there anything wrong with wanting to cast my own knobs? What's so interesting?

Deadman Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The reason for the 4 min orders has been posted several times. Now if you would have said in your original Pm about knobs that you want to become a manufacture of panels and ask if i would supply the knobs for your panels on demand. We possibly could have made a deal unfortunately you did not and even now on line your making it sound like a personal home build. That I find interesting. You just PM me that you want to start manufacturing complete modular panels this is great if your going to make them to the correct scale the hard core builders need a source of back lit panels for their cockpits. Making your own knobs from hard clay would be possible if all of the knob spec were on line unfortunately they are not. So you looking at investing more than just time. If you would like to contact me about me supplying you with knobs for your commercial venture please do.

The issue is that you require four full orders, which I cannot afford at one time which is somewhere around $1200. The recent messages you sent me stated you had not gotten anyone else to order. I am making complete modular panels to sell and need knobs, if you were to create knobs for me to use on these panels as I need them and not require four full orders at one time, I would order from you and would not have to cast them myself. I can cast knobs with or without an original knob, all i have to do is model an original knob out of hard clay then make a cast mold off of that, its not like its difficult or anything just time consuming. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Firedawg Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) When I requested the Knobs in the first post I did not think I was required to specify whether or not the knobs were for personal or business. I stated "My Panels" which in my mind meant both. Never intended on being deceptive for any reason. Further its no secret that I am building panels as I have recently advertised such activity. Thanks for turning a simple request into a battle for no reason at all. Instead of making a false assumption, why didn't you simply ask me what I needed knobs for and what I plan to do with them? Lucky for me I did not require the internet to obtain the knob specs for the A-10C panels. A little research of the meaning of my Username will help you understand that.
