F-4E DIY 3d printing Pilot Throttle built

[sagil]

Hi all,

Wanted to share my design of the 3D printing F-4E Phantom throttle assembly.

Work great and feel great with the sim, including Idle levers, and engine panels with few extra buttons for the sim (jester index for example).

Here are some pictures and link to get it.

Very, very nice.  I'm going to end up with a house full of 3d printed throttles and sticks at this rate.

So, are those switches with levers any good? When buying online there is always that one guy that says that the switch stopped working after a few uses.

All the switches used work great for long time.... 
Have a lot of experience with other of my products

Hello, great work, one or two question though.

Would it be possible to add the Black / white hot switch (No 1) as well, or is it possible to request a file conversion to fusion360 with the purchase to do it myself ?

I'm not sure, but in the real thing, the side panes seem slightly slanted. Did you incorporate that as well in the model?   The Throttle would be a great centerpiece and starting point for the left console. Having the throttle, I could figure out how to mount it and start from there to add the rest.

And one last one for now. Are there any kinds of afterburner gates / stops or something like that?

Hi, yes I can add the missing toggle.

I think that the all panel with the throttle are slanted.

There are idle stopper (pulling back only with the idles levers) and AB detent

Started printing, let's see how it goes.

Really nice work. Does it have mounting holes? I have the Monstertech setup for Warthog throttle. Just wondering if there a way to mount it.

So far I'm very happy with the design. Just made some slight changes. 

 

Printer will need to keep going though. One need a pretty big plate for the main handles

Done printing, waiting for some hardware now.

 

 

I really dig this design, very well-made. Looking forward to putting it all together

[Lt_Jaeger]

Moving forward and getting somewhere...

It's coming together well around the throttle centerpiece. 

Seems I need to reprint the cover plates now.

I dont have the means nor compentecies do make that, but i'd pay a good amount to buy one !

 

amazing work

@sagil What filament do you recommend? Also do you have a list of the electronic components. I purchased the files but am trying to get a shopping list together. Thanks.
