linden Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I want to start this thread by saying THANK YOU to everyone here on the forum who share infomation, construction techniques, and designs for panels and cockpit. Too many names to write but you know who you are, thanks for a great job! What I have done now so far is AUX and Fuel panel. The material that I have chosen to use is 2mm clear plexi for the backplate, 3mm opal-white plexi for lightpanel, 5mm opal-white plexi painted with black color then laser engraved. Still need to paint the backplate "edges" Well its a start :) Links to sites where i got the parts Fuel Panel: 9 http://www.conrad.se/?websale7=conrad-swe%3b01-aa&pi=701037&act=load_tpl&tpl=01-aa/tpl_read_prod_rating.htm&ws_tp1=nl&ref=reviewreminder/701037 1 http://www.conrad.se/MINIATURE-PUSHBUTTON-RED-TYPEBNO.htm?websale7=conrad-swe&pi=705063&ci=SHOP_AREA_17384_0216610&Ctx={ver/7/ver}{st/3ec/st}{cmd/0/cmd}{m/websale/m}{s/conrad-swe/s}{l/01-aa/l}{sf/%3Cs1%3E%20705063%3C/s1%3E/sf}{p1/51e3d833cc6ed78fbdcb3dd719572348/p1}{md5/32c372a197637c3f1d80eff10cc7b527/md5} 4 http://www.blueride.se/pushpull-switch-p-1110.html?cPath=121_28_125 1 http://www.conrad.se/POTENTIOMETER-16S-W4B8L30-10KLIN.htm?websale7=conrad-swe&pi=449896&ci=SHOP_AREA_17440_0241710&Ctx={ver/7/ver}{st/3ec/st}{cmd/0/cmd}{m/websale/m}{s/conrad-swe/s}{l/01-aa/l}{sf/%3Cs1%3E449896%3C/s1%3E/sf}{p1/51e3d833cc6ed78fbdcb3dd719572348/p1}{md5/3f19f1def4dd90c5aef95253c0b869ea/md5} Aux Panel 2 http://www.conrad.se/POTENTIOMETER-16S-W4B8L30-10KLIN.htm?websale7=conrad-swe&pi=449896&ci=SHOP_AREA_17440_0241710&Ctx={ver/7/ver}{st/3ec/st}{cmd/0/cmd}{m/websale/m}{s/conrad-swe/s}{l/01-aa/l}{sf/%3Cs1%3E449896%3C/s1%3E/sf}{p1/51e3d833cc6ed78fbdcb3dd719572348/p1}{md5/3f19f1def4dd90c5aef95253c0b869ea/md5} 2 http://www.conrad.se/MINIATURE-PUSHBUTTON-RED-TYPEBNO.htm?websale7=conrad-swe&pi=705063&ci=SHOP_AREA_17384_0216610&Ctx={ver/7/ver}{st/3ec/st}{cmd/0/cmd}{m/websale/m}{s/conrad-swe/s}{l/01-aa/l}{sf/%3Cs1%3E%20705063%3C/s1%3E/sf}{p1/51e3d833cc6ed78fbdcb3dd719572348/p1}{md5/32c372a197637c3f1d80eff10cc7b527/md5} 1 http://www.conrad.se/?websale7=conrad-swe%3b01-aa&pi=701037&act=load_tpl&tpl=01-aa/tpl_read_prod_rating.htm&ws_tp1=nl&ref=reviewreminder/701037 1 http://www.conrad.se/VIPPBRYTARE-G%c4NGAD-BUSSNING-1-PLOIG-11.9MM.htm?websale7=conrad-swe&pi=700101&ci=SHOP_AREA_17385_0216100&Ctx={ver/7/ver}{st/3ec/st}{cmd/0/cmd}{m/websale/m}{s/conrad-swe/s}{l/01-aa/l}{sf/%3Cs1%3E700101%3C/s1%3E/sf}{p1/51e3d833cc6ed78fbdcb3dd719572348/p1}{md5/148fd8fe5a363a6479b65d0c77491e59/md5} SAS Panel 4 http://www.conrad.se/?websale7=conrad-swe%3b01-aa&pi=701037&act=load_tpl&tpl=01-aa/tpl_read_prod_rating.htm&ws_tp1=nl&ref=reviewreminder/701037 1 http://www.conrad.se/POTENTIOMETER-RK09L1220-10KBX2.htm?websale7=conrad-swe&pi=441789&ci=SHOP_AREA_17440_0241710 1 http://www.conrad.se/MINIATURE-PUSHBUTTON-RED-TYPEBNO.htm?websale7=conrad-swe&pi=705063&ci=SHOP_AREA_17384_0216610&Ctx={ver/7/ver}{st/3ec/st}{cmd/0/cmd}{m/websale/m}{s/conrad-swe/s}{l/01-aa/l}{sf/%3Cs1%3E%20705063%3C/s1%3E/sf}{p1/51e3d833cc6ed78fbdcb3dd719572348/p1}{md5/32c372a197637c3f1d80eff10cc7b527/md5} 1 http://www.electrokit.com/vippomkopplare-med-skylt-on-off-on-2pol.47040 Elec Pwr 5 http://www.conrad.se/VIPPBRYTARE-R13-37C-05.htm?websale7=conrad-swe&pi=701037&Ctx={ver/7/ver}{st/3ec/st}{cmd/0/cmd}{m/websale/m}{s/conrad-swe/s}{l/01-aa/l}{sf/%3Cs1%3E701037-I5%3C/s1%3E/sf}{p1/0d7e3b76f5dec8728f6775c148801294/p1}{md5/24f75cb4ac8dbe656769bb73234b9f47/md5} 1 http://www.conrad.se/TOGGLE-SW.C3921BEAAA-IP67-E-A-T-10%284%29A.htm?websale7=conrad-swe&pi=701423&Ctx={ver/7/ver}{st/3ec/st}{cmd/0/cmd}{m/websale/m}{s/conrad-swe/s}{l/01-aa/l}{sf/%3Cs1%3E701423-I5%3C/s1%3E/sf}{p1/0d7e3b76f5dec8728f6775c148801294/p1}{md5/94e887a978c2e598c94f1c0544ffd97f/md5} Stall 2 http://www.conrad.se/POTENTIOMETER-16S-W4B8L30-10KLIN.htm?websale7=conrad-swe&pi=449896&Ctx={ver/7/ver}{st/3ec/st}{cmd/0/cmd}{m/websale/m}{s/conrad-swe/s}{l/01-aa/l}{sf/%3Cs1%3E449896-I5%3C/s1%3E/sf}{p1/0d7e3b76f5dec8728f6775c148801294/p1}{md5/0f29e6631e4de6b807d62818ed5f0ce5/md5} Nav 2 http://www.conrad.se/VIPPBRYTARE-R13-37C-05.htm?websale7=conrad-swe&pi=701037&Ctx={ver/7/ver}{st/3ec/st}{cmd/0/cmd}{m/websale/m}{s/conrad-swe/s}{l/01-aa/l}{sf/%3Cs1%3E701037-I5%3C/s1%3E/sf}{p1/0d7e3b76f5dec8728f6775c148801294/p1}{md5/24f75cb4ac8dbe656769bb73234b9f47/md5} 2 http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/positions-rotary-switch-p-155.html?cPath=24_55 1 https://www.elfa.se/elfa3~se_sv/elfa/init.do?item=35-223-52&toc=20340 Edited November 27, 2012 by linden
Gadroc Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Nicely done. Do you have pictures of the individual parts or it the backlight on?
linden Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Here are the individual parts. The backlight is not on, i will backlight the panels whit one lamp each. Edited November 27, 2012 by linden
Deadman Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Looks very good:thumbup: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Strix Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Looks good Linden!! Glad to see that your cnc went good. Only thing is that I think the bat handle on switches is a bit to low.... You use 5mm on top and that makes them low..... :doh: Win 10 64.

Gadroc Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Here are the individual parts. The backlight is not on, i will backlight the panels whit one lamp each. Ahh. I see your not having the lightning in the panel itself, but behind the switch plate shinning through it? Where are you going to place your electronics / wiring to prevent shadows?
linden Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Ahh. I see your not having the lightning in the panel itself, but behind the switch plate shinning through it? Where are you going to place your electronics / wiring to prevent shadows? Yes i will have light that will be one lamp from behind the backplate. As for the wiring i dont think that will be a problem, but i havent tested whit wiring, so i dont know if there will be a problem. If so i need to get a el sheet or just put some leds in the backplate.
Duckling Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Looking good Linden. (realy envy on the CNC :-) Gus - - - -

You use 5mm on top and that makes them low..... :doh: Yes im very pleased with the panels. The switches are 3mm lower then the ones that has round holes, no big deal. I can always drill from the backside 3mm down, but no need for that.
linden Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Looking good Linden. (realy envy on the CNC :-) Gus Thanks Duckling.
Strix Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks to you I now got a laser-cut Fuel panel in my possession :D What a difference it does to have a professional panel and not a homemade crap like mine :doh: So many hours I spend doing them when I could got them made.... In the end it will have cost me the same :mad: Win 10 64.

linden Posted March 18, 2012 Author Posted March 18, 2012 I'm glad you liked it! :) By the way, I have now fixed the holes in the fuel panel:) I used the mill at work so now the oval holes is milled 3mm down from the backside... Looks really good now!!

linden Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Here is the left side of y2kiah stencil cut whit laser. Just need to remove the part from the sheet. Edited November 27, 2012 by linden
Gadroc Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Very cool. What material and power laser was that?

y2kiah Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 awesome! sorry about the loose fitting parts, I have not posted the plans yet for plywood that is slightly thinner than .75". Some steel corner brackets would help firm everything up though, if you choose.
Strix Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Nice Linden! Win 10 64. GTX1080 ti 11 Gb, Intel i-5, 16 Gb ram, SSD 1,5 Tb, 2 Terrabyte HD, Monitor ASUS XG32V 144Hz, Slaw Milans Rudder Pedals BF109F :thumbup:, Joystick - HOTAS Warthog, Throttle - HOTAS Warthog, TrackIR V5. Pimax 5.
linden Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Very cool. What material and power laser was that? Its birch trees "plyfa" 18mm a very hard and good material, the maskin that cut it is a Elcede LCS-300-4TR it has a watt from 1000 to 2500.
linden Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 awesome! sorry about the loose fitting parts, I have not posted the plans yet for plywood that is slightly thinner than .75". Some steel corner brackets would help firm everything up though, if you choose. Sad story: I did remake your drawing to fit 18mm, every cutout and part was remade. Then i send it off the and waited..... When i got the parts i was not to happy whit the result, so i whent back to the mail that i have sent , and ther its was..... THE ORIGNAL DRAWING!!!! :doh: I have send the wrong drawing:mad: But i will use this left side,because the material and laser is very expensive.... I will use some steel corner brackets to firm it up better... Next time im gonna try to remember to use the right drawings:)
