3D Printed Helicopter Collective for MSFS2020, Xplane & DCS
This project started five years ago in my tiny shed in Brunei. With the help of a few pilots, we were able to prove that the unit could be created from 3d printed parts, and the stepper motor could be used as a mag brake, parallel and series actuator. This allowed the design to be much smaller and achieve some design parameters we have not seen in other builds. These are:
Collective hold,
Force Trim/Force Feel,
Beep Trim (electric increase/decrease of the collective)
and autopilot input (still very much a work in progress)
This video is the first of 3 in the series.
Video 2: cyclic build
Video 3: wiring and programming.

If I can make a suggestion on the throttle, some PTFE Teflon spray or even PTFE powder as used by bicyclists on plastic parts would make that throttle as well as other parts without bearings run really smoothly. Really superb build. Thank you for sharing.
WOW.... As an engineer of 40 years, it really takes allot to catch my attention, let alone, hold my attention. I have spent almost all of my life time cramming info into my dinky bean brain. Now, with that said, I am highly and exceptionally impressed with this. The video editing is top notch on the audio and video. You explained what you were doing at an elementary level, that allot of high IQ people fail to be able to do and you did that wonderfully. You didn't take for granted that somebody "just already knows what you know as second nature". I would like to thank you for the amount of time that you set aside to make this happen as that I can only assume, was well over 200 hours, if not more than that over the years of honing the R&D aspect of this design. I was thoroughly entertained. I even learned a few things from your video here today. Thank you. This was an easy click to subscribe to your channel and I look forwards to the next videos of this simulator build. I did I quick skim-through of your older video titles, just to see what you have showcased already, I think I will enjoy watching those as well. Well done.

15:28, reading quality is higher in a hall sensor but really its for futureproofing. Pots WILL die, and sometimes fairly quickly, its what kills pretty much all flight controls on the market eventually and so people would rather spend a little more and have a hall sensor which as far as I have heard will last at least double but theoretically for a lifetime.

I ran into a few small quirky issues. the ones primarily giving me problems are the springs. I just can't seem to find springs to match the ones you've used and either mine are too strong or soft for the application. The worst offender has been the cyclic spring attached to the frame. I've also printed the collective grip a couple of times and the tolerances for the heatset inserts just are too large and I haven't found a good work-around that doesn't involve modifying the stls. I love the design though and all I have left for the set is wiring everything up.

AMAZING design job, assembly and presentation. I wish there was a detailed description of the purpose of the "Force Feel" system. Presumably, it produces the aerodynamic forces present in a helicopter in flight; but it isn't clear to me how these forces effect movement of the Collective . Also, there's a comment toward the end of the video that due to the high forces involved 'most pilots release the "Force Feel" whenever they are moving the Collective. So the "Force Feel" system keeps the Collective from moving away from its present set position if released? *If* I understand correctly, in a real helo; the Collective is free-moving with an adjustable friction control to maintain its present position without applying constant pressure, and these high forces don't exist during Collective movement?

First off, awesome engineering, build, and video! I've already printed the collective and throttle. I did resin for the grip and a few small parts too. I'm having trouble with the counterbalance springs. Do you know what size you actually used? I've tried all the springs in the Amazon assorted spring kit. They are either too weak and don't do anything, or too strong and make the collective float at the top but never return to it's resting position. I can't get it just right where it returns to its lowest position but just helps it stay up when raised. At this point I'm buying individual random springs on Amazon until I get it right.

Terrific video! It looks like the same approach(especially from the cyclic video) could be used to make/modify a yoke that would respond more realistically to trim input for example. Have you considered such a project? Do you know if MSFS20 or XP11/12 can provide the output that could be used to set the appropriate hands-off yoke position based on elevator trim tab and airspeed conditions? What about simulating the feeling in the yoke from a loss of control surface authority at low speeds?

Hello, I try hard to make make designs open to all, but sometimes a more bigger build bed makes the impossible possible! I honestly say this as I do not think any one has done this yet, and trying to get so much to happen in a relatively small space has already been a huge mission! kind regards Karl.
Half way though printing, Thankyou for this! I have a question though.. Would it be possible to program the steppers to follow auto pilot in the H145?

yes, yes it is. I've cracked it.
What is the BOM cost if I want to do it myself?
Hi, great build and I think about building one with your files. I just have an Ender 3 V2 and wonder if the biggest parts fit on the build plate (220 x 220mm). Can you please give a short feedback on the biggest dimensions part. THX Cheers Carsten

Hi carsten, you need a bed size of 300 x 300mm. This thing is almost life size and the forces invoked are huge

Hi there, how big is the handle of the collective, I'm planning to buy a SLA printer and if I maybe build the collective, the printer should be able to handle these parts (at least the top plate and the two parts the hand grip is made of) Thanks a lot
I'm sure you don't have a shortage of projects. Anything in the works for a force-feedback yoke interconnected with a trim wheel? I'm looking for a guide to tear apart my honeycomb yoke and add some servos.
