BaronVonVaderham Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Hi all, just curious, has anyone tried printing a full cockpit panel before? I’ve been contemplating if it’s possible to print the main front panel of an f-16. i know a panel sent for for most printers, soo I was curious if someone managed to split something like that into several smaller parts

BaronVonVaderham Posted September 1, 2024 Author Posted September 1, 2024 (edited) I’m gonna follow that! Soo far, I’ve been designing my own stuff for printing from scratch. this is my design thus far it’s quite Modular soo I can replace certain things as I evolve my simpit Edited September 1, 2024 by BaronVonVaderham 1

Bucic Posted May 1 Posted May 1 @Aronis That ejections controls assembly seems to be metallic. I'm on the fence whether to buy metallic PLA or PET-G. What's your take on this?

Aronis Posted May 1 Posted May 1 no, it's PLA. A few metal parts, screws, switches, heres the latest version of my model. I am going to tweak it a bit for better clearance of the switch. It does not match the real thing, as the guard does not cover the canopy switch, that would require a bit of reworking, which I am going to do at a later date, I need to move the switch back into the block so it does not stick out and make it more like in the jet with the switch guards, but no hurry, it works fine for sim.

As in effect. Now I was wondering if anyone compared the two.

Aronis Posted May 5 Posted May 5 I had some time to kill so I was able to get through modeling the complete right sided panel. I have several panels printed so far. The box will take hours. LOL.
