WarmRed Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) For all huey pilots here is a detent for the 3D printer. The notches are at: 30% (braking/descent) 60% hovering 75% normal flight speed The template for the detent was created by "mib45" and adapted by me. No commercial use, please Virpil CM3 Huey Detent v4.zip Edited February 24, 2021 by WarmRed 2
wowbagger Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Nice! Thanks for sharing. I was thinking it would be great to have a thread for sharing useful controller 3d printables. I made a quick and dirty solution to flying aircraft that don't have afterburners, without having to change the detents. These spacers just pop in and hold the rollers above the detents. Edit: Updated with final version. CM3Lifts.zip Edited May 6, 2021 by wowbagger 3 no sig

Edit: I have them sized so that I can still feel a tiny bit of feedback as they roll over the detent - so I know when the 80%-100 button engages. If you want to remove that feedback, I'd size them 0.5-0.75 mm taller. detentspacers.zip 6.56 kB · 6 downloads I just want to thank you for making this. I use these constantly because I'm often switching between the F-18 and helicopters, and this save a lot time and annoyance unscrewing the detents. 1

I pop them in and out pretty much everyday depending on whether I'm flying helos/warbirds or modern jets. I made another set which is slightly taller since I decided I don't need the tiny bump of feedback after all. Thanks for the message. no sig
calebsw Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 These are excellent, I used both of these! to op: i noticed the 75% detent is not very pronounced. There's very little tactile feedback when crossing over it, but I'm not sure if that's an issue from how I printed it or not. Otherwise, it's an excellent design and I very much appreciate you sharing. I feel like every huey driver and virpil throttle owner needs this! I also appreciate wowbagger's clever method of not needing to remove the detent guide when switching aircraft. thanks for yours as well! 1
