rwbishUP Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Just peeled my first rough draft/prototype part off of the printer bed. I'm building a rudimentary, universal front panel for DCS. I'm finishing up on designing the MFD housing. The recessed, through hole perf board will hold my tac buttons and hopefully have my small displays centered on them. I'm just getting started on the UFC, not sure what all I want to include on the up front control. Want to keep it fairly simple, fairly portable. And, universal for all the modern aircraft in DCS, especially the Apache Mod. Not a big deal, but I'm pretty excited for my first 3D design and print....and it's for DCS!

rwbishUP Posted March 10, 2022 Author Posted March 10, 2022 Once everything is finished. It won't be nearly as good as "the warthog project" which is incredibly sexy. But for function, flexibility and simplicity. It should fit the bill. After it's complete, I'll of course share a zip with all the files for edit and print. And the non print hardware pieces.

LOL..for sure @AG-51_Razor, no I'm just making a simplified panel to mitigate some of the mouse clicking I have to do in the cockpits. I'm going to have a simple panel underneath the MFDs and UFC, that will have some pots, a few toggles and more tac buttons. I definitely don't have the talent or funds to build a full pit.

AG-51_Razor Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 Well, there's no denying that you've got talent with a 3D printer and it's software. I look forward to seeing the finished product. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
