Hola Karl, me alegro de que ya empieces la nueva andadura en UK. se echaban de menos tus videos. Saludos

Great to see you back on the channel - Was loving your new video then 16 minutes in you said "... and here we have the cessna 172 panel..." To say I was very excited to see this is an understatement. I cannot wait to see what you do with the Transponder as I am looking to build one myself. All the best and catch you on the next one. Cheers...Jim

Welcome Back Karl!! You have been sorely missed. Looking forward to more progress. Cheers.

Super nice! I’ve worked home 3D printing small 3D printed models for a few years, one thing I definitely recommend is that you get a Sonic Mini 8K, they are reasonably priced and will produce small buttons and parts that will blow you away. Combined with laser it will look manufactured by a factory. Only one fault, I wish you were into the Airbus A320 😂.

Hello, I just had a quick look on Amazon. I have a few resin printers, but once again they are stuck in shipping. I do not have the funds to go out and buy a replacement yet. But it would have helped me out so much already. And finally, I stay away from A320 as there are already many talented designers out there. It's actually taken over 7 years to get this far!

Great you are back with another video. You have inspired me to start building on a home cockpit! Currently learning planning and buying the switches etc for a h145 cockpit. Also great the hear you are planning to design a CRJ cockpit, can’t wait to see the result.

Great stuff, the H145 would be a cool aircraft to build. I really do need to get one and complete my cyclic and collective lever builds. So much to do! Thank you for dropping by.

Great to see you back on here Karl. Your designs have inspired me over the years, and I’m constantly making my own parts for my sim “corner”. I don’t have the room for a full on sim, so your designs and my occasional fiddling around is perfect compromise! Keep up the great work!

Hi Karl, Great to see videos from you back on KZread! Now you have your own laser, and rebuilding the 737 sim, do you think you'll be offering cut/engraving files for the panels in addition to 3d printed? Can't wait to see the next video!

@helimech8152

2 жыл бұрын

Not yet, perhaps when my equipment arrives. The best I can do right now with a single printer is just design work. Also big components like the MCP I'm not too sure about. The print times are huge and it was always designed as a DIY project. At best I think I hope to provide laser-etched face panels that will really finish the look of the mcp off. That reminds me, that might be tomorrow's project.

hello karel I am very impressed with your amazing parts is there a possibility to buy simparts for the 737

@helimech8152

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, the six pack is coming and hopefully it will turn out as good as I think it looks in my head. I think this time I will show the process of design, prototyping and the revision after revision that normally follows.

Couple of hints as someone who laser cuts a LOT of acrylic: if you want the 2-color backlit effect the spray paint method doesn’t work particularly well as any solid color is very opaque except for the brightest light, they make 2-layer acrylics for this exact purpose along with 2-color HDPE for milling machine applications (I get mine from inventables (both types) - the x-carve people and you can get various combinations depending on what the end result is) so for my versions of the warning cluster I used the frosted and black reverse (you remove the black from the back - pro-tip remember to reverse the label or it’s backwards) and then the front is completely smooth acrylic. The other tip is CA glues don’t work very reliably on acrylics compared to Weldon-#4 which is a chemical welding agent based on acetone which is best applied after fitting the parts firmly together with a tight joint and then putting a tiny amount on the seam and it will pull in via capillary action. In general I leave for at least 24 hours to get a stable weld. One huge advantage of welding is that it will transmit light efficiently if you’re welding frosted or clear acrylic. If you need to glue acrylic to some other plastic (like PLA then CA glue is OK, although 3D gloop - welding agent for PLA is better).
