DIY F-15E WSO Hand Controllers - 3D Printed and functioning!

[_BringTheReign_]

The F-15E is amazing - loving the back seat so much I decided to double down on some DIY gear!

Impressive. This 3-D printing thing is quite something.

(I’m an older fart, so this printing technology blows my mind anyway)

Very nice. I printed your F-4 grip on anticipation of the HB module and been highly pleased. Even so I most probably won't fly the SE much, let alone sit in the back, I might buy the files from cults, just to show my appreciation for your work. 

Will keep an eye out for more stuff to show up. Very impressed with your solutions, thank you.

Nice idea  Crg.

Hi! Just got the files, they seem pretty difficult to print due to the big internal overhangs. How did you configure your slicer?

I'm using a Prusa Mk3S+, and I can find no way of printing the main part without massive internal supports (which will be very hard to remove) or having unsupported overhangs that I feel will fail printing properly. Yours seem very clean.

Thanks!

Hi there, I usually print with supports on the outside along the curved section of the trigger guard like so:

 

I have not needed internal supports except in the cutouts in the base of the grip where the clamps insert

I'm very impressed. Can you detail the price for the full project in 3D printers plus hardware? Do you sell the product finished?

If someone would like such a set but is not able to make it themselves, please contact me after downloading the files from _BringTheReign_ from the Cult3D website. If _BringTheReign_ does not have the time or opportunity, I can build such a set. HCUs work great and are very immersive.
The link to the files page is provided in the description of The Sim Net video.

@Nahen How much do you want for the hcu?
