lesthegrngo Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I've designed and made some 3D printed knobs to go with my A10 cockpit, they are sized to suit my panels and fit on 18 splined potentiometers, rotary encoders and switches. Happy to share the .sldprt or .stl files if anyone is interested Les Edited June 1, 2021 by lesthegrngo Add pictures 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash test pilot Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Looking nice! Now all I need is a 3d-printer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkfin61 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Great Les, all I was longing for! I am be glad, if you share the .stl's! Would it be possible to create the big "defog" knob, also? Did you use simple PLA? Can you also share the settings (nozzle heat, flow, speed,...? They look so smooth! If I try to print, I always have stringy contours on the surface.

lesthegrngo Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Sure - remembering that I have sized mine for my rig mine is smaller than the real one, but if you let me know the diameter of the disc part I can change my file to suit These are printed with a resin printer, in this case an AnyCubic Photon Mono X Les Edited June 2, 2021 by lesthegrngo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkfin61 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Ah, resin, I think that makes the difference. For the diameter, think 42 mm (1.65 inch) would be fine, I think. sharkfin out!

Stewmanji Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 @lesthegrngo These are absolutely fantastic! Would you be willing to share all the .stl files? I'd love to use them in a series of generic button boxes that I'm starting to create. I'm still designing the panels so I'm flexible on sizing and can just roll with what you made. Fantastic work!

lesthegrngo Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) I've no problem at all sharing them, in fact I was sharing them with sharkfin61 and realised that I have to find a better way than e-mail. I am going to look at grabcad as a way of having them on line One thing I am aware of is that if I provide them in .stl form, while you are able to resize them to suit what you want, it would also resize the spline feature for the attachment to the potentiometer or whatever; as a result I will try to also put up the solidworks files for people to be able to modify individual features, however anyone who can't access solidworks will still struggle. In those cases you can get back to me and I can make a modified file to your dimensions, it would only take a few minutes for each. Let me look at the grabcad thing and get back here with a link Les Edited June 3, 2021 by lesthegrngo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesthegrngo Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 All, please see if you are able to get to this site to retreive the .stl and .sldprt files. If you can let me know so that I have done it correctly! https://workbench.grabcad.com/workbench/projects/gcrqSOwL-wkr66AxNjoeRLKgh9znUSNp4TtPN-wjlJ_79M#/folder/10449246 Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lesthegrngo Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Interesting - a laser scanner? Were you able to get the files from GrabCad? Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkfin61 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) I did register, however, I was not granted access to your linked workbench. That's not laser scanner, it's my 3D printer with a self created fire pullhandle just right after finishing the 2 1/2 hrs print.. Edited June 5, 2021 by sharkfin61 sharkfin out!

lesthegrngo Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Dunno what went wrong, try this link, and let me know if you can access them https://grabcad.com/library/a10c-knobs-2 Ok on the printer, the purple light made me wonder if there was a laser in there somewhere!

sharkfin61 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Yes, LED ligt is a nice gadget, shows me in what state is the printer when heating up (changes colours accordingly). Everything is working now with grabcd, even when I'm not logged in. Thank you for all the effort. sharkfin out!
