debolestis Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Can shapeways print rubber? I'm fairly sure this friction pad is made of rubber and using plastic (or other materials) might not be a great idea... Shapeways doesn't print rubber. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debolestis Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) I printed Suncom to Thrustmaster adapter, and it work fine with Gardena hose adapter nut. It can be bought HERE. If you cannot find original 5 pin DIN connector you can buy it HERE. Shift register PCB is also necessary, it can be bought HERE. Gardena nut can be bought in almost any hardware store, plastic one works as well. It seems to be strong enough, I guess time will tell...

debolestis Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) I bought Warthog grip last month. There are few things that I don't like on it. One thing is DMS knob, because it is not ergonomic and slippery. I already made DMS knob for old FLCS and F22 joysticks. I didn't know how this knob is mounted in Warthog and Cougar. I made full disassembly and saw that TM use nearly the same switches as in FLCS and F22, minimal changes, different material. I also find a few photos of real grip, this one is from Guardian electric web site. I found drawing on OTTO website and than I made two versions. Castle hat Stadium hat In my next post I'll explain how to install them.

debolestis Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) To install this knob you have to disassemble the grip. Maybe it is possible without disassembly but in that case something could get damaged. I didn't photographed whole procedure but it is not difficult. In the end there is something like this: When this screw is removed than knob with shaft can be pull out. I used pincers as a lever to remove the knob. Than put new knob on shaft and put everything back together. I had older version of DMS knob that I printed for FLCS. This is how it looks now. I was also working on complete 4 way switch assembly. I printed first version, it works but still needs a few improvements. Here it is assembled.

98abaile Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I assume that the 4 way switch is a replacement for the warthog one. Do you know if it would fit into the thrustmaster FLCS? I'd love to be able to change the awful switches in that thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be able to change the awful switches in that thing. Yes you can, they work and is wired in the same way. You can use for example, Cougar HAT's on FLCS, but Debolesis version will be more affordable. :thumbup: Joystick HAT's are only four ordinary tactile micro-switches around a pole - no military secrets or Alien science in then. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladinsky Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Pretty terrible lighting here and the connector one probably isnt all too relevant since I dont have the original housing mounted. I did check the fit of the original before I put it all together though. It had a very slight rotational play, no more than 1/3 the width of the screwholes. Not quite as tight as the original tailpiece but there was no other play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debolestis Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) I added a few models to my Shapeways store. DMS Knob (castle) for Warthog, Cougar or FLCS. DMS Knob (stadium) for Warthog, Cougar or FLCS. This one is like original but rotated 45 degrees. I made new versions of 4Way switches: HERE and HERE I tested them and they work, they could be replacements for TM switches or used in other projects. I added PS3 thumb stick holder that I used in my SFS throttle. It was requested.

98abaile Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 debolestis, can you create a tutorial on how to build the slew controller. I can work out the assembly itself but connecting it to a device and programming it confuses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
