Fusedspine33 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Both of you have me wanting fusion 360, $495 is salty to start learning. :) my excuse, probably too much free time.

Blue73 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Posted April 11, 2019 It sure will. I'll need to complete the CAD work for all front panels before I print anything more. I have a modular frame idea in mind that will hold an arbitrary set of modules. Once all panels are complete I can get a feel for how the panels attach to the rear frame. Printing will then begin. awesome work, cant wait to see it printed!. gonna be a long print by looks
Fusedspine33 Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Thanks for the tips. I saw student, startup and paid but not non-commercial licensing.
Blue73 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Posted April 11, 2019 It's the startup license you need. Thanks for the tips. I saw student, startup and paid but not non-commercial licensing.
Blue73 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Hi, The Master Arm panel is complete. As with all panels, I'll design the back side once I start on the rear frame. cheers John Edited April 13, 2019 by Blue73
59thCasper Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 how are you locking the switches in the frame, push fit clip?, and did you model those switches? looking great 59th | Casper [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Our Website | Our Facebook Page | YouTube Channel | Our Discord System : 9900k 5ghz, 32GB 4166mhz Ram, 2080Ti, Hotas Warthog, Virpil WarBRD base, MFG Crosswinds, VR + TrackIR, All Modules For DCS
Blue73 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Hi, I get a good grip from the hex nuts, they slightly bite into the plastic locking the switch in. Yes I've modeled everything except the screws. how are you locking the switches in the frame, push fit clip?, and did you model those switches? looking great Edited April 13, 2019 by Blue73
Blue73 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Posted April 13, 2019 All Parts together. I still need to model the switch guard for the above panel.
Razi Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 @Blue73 If you don't mind me asking, how do you opt to organize all of your components/bodies/sketches in Fusion 360 for such a large project? I struggle with this aspect as my projects grow.
Blue73 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Posted April 13, 2019 Hi Razi, I have a master design file that I link all my other design files. So there's one for each major component. As it's linked an update on a component is also updated on the master. All common objects like switches/push buttons, knobs are also all linked from smaller design files. There's allot of linking :) cheers John @Blue73 If you don't mind me asking, how do you opt to organize all of your components/bodies/sketches in Fusion 360 for such a large project? I struggle with this aspect as my projects grow.
RightStuff Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Blue, as always: You are showing us master pieces! Love them! Concering model organization: Are you designing every switch, button, rotary from scratch or are you using external part-libraries?
Blue73 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 Thanks RightStuff! Yes all those are from scratch. I visit my local electronics store, buy what is available to me, and it's action feels right then model it in F360. I'd done this months ago so now I'm just pulling the components from my own library. Only the screws aren't mine. cheers John Blue, as always: You are showing us master pieces! Love them!

Blue73 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 Hi All, IR Cool Switch/HMD/Spin Recovery is complete. Provisions have been made for inserting a LED for the SPIN indicator.
Lobinjaevel Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Just keeps on getting better and better! Great job!
Blue73 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 Thanks. I've got 10 days leave coming up, I hope to have most of the CAD work complete by the end. Just keeps on getting better and better! Great job!
Blue73 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 Fire switch guards and HUD overhang thing complete.
Nanne118 Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Hey man, cool to see you making so much progress! Any reason why you modelled the emergency jettison and the spin recovery switch in yellow?

Blue73 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 Hi Nanne! Thank you, spent all weekend getting it to this point, back at work today... The yellow doesn't mean anything, just breaking up the grey. cheers John Hey man, cool to see you making so much progress!

chouclak Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Hi Blue, Great job again ! I have some problems with my circuit... doesnt work... is the capacitor and resistance is an obligation ? 10 uf thats right ? Alienware Aurora R8 I7 9700K WC, GeForce 1080 Ti 11Gig, Occulus Rift
Blue73 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Posted April 15, 2019 Thanks! The cap and resistor aren't absolutely required but it does help. I would insert the cap just in-case you've got allot of noise on your supply rails. 10uF should be okay. Can you draw me a circuit diagram? cheers John Hi Blue, Great job again ! I have some problems with my circuit... doesnt work... is the capacitor and resistance is an obligation ? 10 uf thats right ?
