jrsteensen Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Hey all! Just wanted to push these out where more people might see them. Here is the release of our pedals for the MFG Crosswinds. It's about a 15 hour print per pedal. Hope you guys enjoy them - they install on your Crosswinds pedals with your stock pedal HW. Printed .20 layer height at 30% infil.

winkj Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 These look great, thanks a lot for sharing! For someone without access to a 3D printer, are there any online services (Shapeways comes up on Google) that you'd recommend? Anything I'd have to keep in mind in terms of configuration/material? Thanks!
jrsteensen Posted January 17, 2019 Author Posted January 17, 2019 Shapeways is your ticket. I'd print them out of PET or ABS. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk OpenHornet F/A-18C 1:1 SimPit Website :: DCS Thread Link :: Discord :: Github ::
98abaile Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I wouldn't bother with shapeways. Even after taking out most of the mass in blender, the price for a shapeways print was still over $450 per pedal. Can you tell us anymore about the print settings? Speeds? Infil type? Number of walls? Number of top and bottom layers?

epolta Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 appreciate the upload! Did you use any support when printing these?
jrsteensen Posted January 17, 2019 Author Posted January 17, 2019 appreciate the upload! Did you use any support when printing these?Some in the pedal holes, but probably not required.

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Errr, the printer doesn't matter, settings are set in the slicer software. For reference, at 0.2mm layer height with 3 walls on a 0.4mm nozzle, 3 top and bottom layers, 30% grid infil, printed at 60mm/s (a common fast speed), it still takes over 20 hours to print.
rel4y Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Looks like you took a bit of inspiration from my pedal solution. :D Btw I made them adjustable for two widths depending on personal choice. The wider one fits flush with the pedal side. I made the screws go in from the back, that looks a bit neater.

We did them based on the real F/A-18C pedals, and they are designed to fit into the footwells of the OpenHornet cockpit.

BigMillerTime Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 jrsteensen, trying to get a quote from my guy to build this in Aluminum. Would you happen to know how to provide him files for Solidworks? .STP, .IGES, .X_T any of those is what he is asking for. Thank you sir!
