lock nut

 

Just to let people know the debolestis F16 warthog lock nut (plastic) is a tight fit with the warthog base and works, but it definetely won't work with the virpil Warbrd base (I don't know about the T50) there must be a tolerance issue.

 

Also, does anyone know where I can get a replacement for the micro din connector (male of the warthog grip? Thrustmaster does not have them in stock.

Regards.

Hey debolestis,

 

Is this something that could be done sturdy enough by a 3d printer to use as a joystick mount? I just dug an old Obutto rig out of the closet, and want to be able to mount a Gunfighter Pro to it, and I'm having a heck of a time trying to find a place nearby that can do this in metal.

I am sorry that it doesn't work. I planned to redraw that thing anyway. I'll do it soon. I have print two on my printer, and look and quality is great.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Connector is 5 pin mini DIN male connector. It can be bought HERE but without mounting bracket.

Hi, I think it can be done

 

 

 

 

 

but I'd make wall it twice as thick and I'd maybe add a bar that would make it even more stronger.

[heloguy]

Awesome, I’d definitely buy two.

Ordered the joystick tailpiece. The hole is not wide enough to accommodate the ground connector and 5 pin connector. Frustrating when things like this have not been beta tested

You have to bend ground connector a bit. I know it is a problem but this way there is thicker wall and stronger part.

Deboletestis do you have a slew control piece that is easily installed and would assist in its use for someone with fat numb fingers?

I have just received mine and tested it on Virpil extension. It's a very tight fit but works, 10 seconds with dremel and brass brush resolved the issue.

Unfortunately I don't have anything for warthog slew control. What do you have in mind?

Any chance of someone making up a copy of that mounting bracket that the core of the male connector could slip in/be glued in? I don't have a Warthog stick, I'm doing a Sidewinder FFB2 and X-Flight and Suncom Hawk conversion with your parts and really the hardest part is the darn Mini-DINs. I THINK I have the right female one on order with Mouser but nothing on the male side except the cable end type. Thrustmaster has to have bought them from somewhere. But no joy. It's just a hunk of plastic with a Mini-din connector stuck through it. If I wasn't tragically bad at CAD it seems like an easy little dingus to cobble up.

OK. I'll try to make something

Hi debolestis

 

 

I am thinking of adapting an old CH Fighterstick to fit on a TM Warthog base.

 

 

I know I'll need the tail piece (once I open the stick I'll know which one) and a securing nut (F-15 probably))

 

 

Like the previous poster I was wondering about the possibility of having a tailpiece that doesn't mimic the Hog and simply has a slot or hole that a DIN could be glued into or attached?

 

 

I was also wondering if there were any plans to produce these tail pieces with offsets similar to the Warthog tailpieces?

I can mke the tailpiece. I'll upload put it in my stare in next few days.

 

 

I cannot make a slot for muni din connector.

First off, thanks Debolestis for your genius work with the community. I am wondering on dcs, which aircraft the dual detent afterburners will work best. I have been using the one detent push mod and have a hard time seeing a need for the dual one.

In futzing around finishing off the B8 I found with how I shrink wrapped the din connector it wedged perfectly into the hole of the X-fighter to Warthog adapter. No movement, clean insertion and removal.

 

 

This is the CUI MD-50 Mini-DIN I used:

[RustBelt]

Also here's the ALPS 5 way navigation switch in the X-Fighter B8. I had to mount it to a square of perf board matching the size of the original switch and had to fashion a new back stay out of Acrylic scrap because the old original piece disintegrated from age.

By the way, you must mount this to some perf board, the feet are too fragile to just solder a 22 AWG wire too without it failing.

Still gotta make a cap for it. post is 3mm X 3mm X 3mm but it needs like 0.2mm clearance to fit without forcing it really badly.

Thankyou for passing that on...............great

[debolestis]

I added 2 more models to my store.

 

 

CH to Warthog tailpiece/adapter. It is tilted 13 degrees to forward and offset 15 degrees to the left.

 

 

 

Second part is throttle part for Harrier. It has detent only for right grip but not on left grip.

 

[debolestis]

I had request to print F-18C Select to Jettison Rotary Knob, I had only basic measurements, It was mostly eyeballed but I think that it looks good. It will not be sold on my Shapeways store, but I will print it myself. Please contact me if you need one. Also contact me if you have any other requests for 3D printing.

 

 

 

For this I created Facebook page

https://www.facebook.com/debolestis

 

 

 

Please like and subscribe, I'll produce more stuff like this in the future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Knob should be used with switch like this one:

 

 

[Terrorvogel]

Hi Debolestis!

 

Could you draw me a new CMS knob for fitting with Leo Bodnar´s nice and cheap 8 way-hat-switch with pushbutton? I would need two of them. Is the colour grey also possible in plastic because i don´t like metal version? If not possible in grey i would take the white version. What would be then the price inclusive taxes and shipping to germany?

 

Here is the Link of the used switch:

I hope the dimensons are clear enough at this picture, if not please ask me:

Kind regards,

On another Note are you around Debolestis? I see you haven't posted in a couple of months and I'm wondering if this is still the best way to get in touch with you. I had a request for a couple of custom parts as well as some question regarding a couple of your already avaiable parts.

[debolestis]

I am still here. I am realy busy in real life latelly, but if you need something send me a PM. I sometimes don't find time to respond, and then I forget that I had received a PM. In that case please send me a PM again.

 

I can print stuff myself or you can order from my shapeways store.
