Mr_Burns Posted December 16, 2012 Author Posted December 16, 2012 Just bought a 3.5 inch monitor off fleabay and modified my panel. Just been trying a few different methods of making a Typhoon Manual Data-Entry Facility (MDEF) shown above. The local CNC shop isnt interested in cutting my sketchup designs. I tried to cut plywood but its too fragile to make square holes for the buttons so get this, I printed the sketchup 2d file and cut out all the button holes and laminated it. I then laminated it again and again turning the machine up hotter each time. I ended up with a pretty solid piece of platic I could cut with a blade! Will post pictures, I dont think I will be using it though, im getting one of those multi tools for cristmas so hopefully I can use that to tidy up a 3mm plastic sheet i managed to drill and jigsaw.
Panthro Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 gotta love the mini k/board it's inspired!! [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic86362_2.gif[/sIGPIC]
msmith301 Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Just thought I'd throw mine in here. This is my out town portable sim stand. I rent houses for 6 to 7 months at a time to build gas stations out of town. Usually only go home on weekends and holidays and I like to spend that time with the family. So my rental house is my MAN CAVE!! I like being able to experiment when out of town so I don't have to hear my wife complain about how bad something looks in the front office...lol.

Have been looking forever for a chair to use that didn't have arms in my way. Found this one at Staples but when I saw the $230 price tag I was disappointed but when I looked on there website it was on sale for $129. I nearly ran to the front counter hoping they had one in stock. Needless to say I went home with my new flight sim seat. What I love about it is I can adjust it to any angle and leave it there because it doesn't require the arms to support it. I Just left those off. the best part it's comfortable as hell. Not like all those game chairs I've sat in that felt like you where in a chair that was meant for preschoolers digging into your sides. https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipM232IkG2azG39-t6DJ8SCYpFOUea_8pYRr0hJa https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNhFTgXLf6h2XJJE8vBXZnhO9uYpnp6OPRa4gx7 https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipPxEgYbex6fbrfXN2A4oLVLDE4tj1bxK6EA4-EI The wife doesn't know about the 49" 2160 4KUHD TV that I'm using for a monitor yet...

msmith301 Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) nice project! Thanks. I've made some modifications since these photos. Knees kept hitting wood at shins so I cut out some more wood to allow more room for my knees. Also built the backboard big enough to add some more controllers as soon as I figure what I want. I hate always having to do keyboard combinations in the middle of trying to fly. Want something like the Koolertron for basic macros. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076LRJ528/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza Would you happen to know why it won't let me put my pictures in using the web addresses shown?

msmith301 Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 I get 404 - not found errors with those links. I think I have to create a shared folder within Google for anybody to see them. Have to try later once work around the house is done.
