Thank you all for your comments and feedback! I can't wait to share the next project. Here's a question - can we get to 1000 subscribers by the end of the year? Only if you hit that subscribe button! Cheers!

I've been contemplating a DIY stick for some time now and a dual stage trigger has been a major consideration, you have SOLVED that problem. Thanks.

amazing project and well engineered, thank you !

Awesome! Cant wait for the next video! Your trigger assembly may be the first thing I print on my new Ender 3 v2 neo!

Thanks man! That is a sweet rig!

great work!! thanks so much for sharing it with the community 👍🏼

I love you 🫡 can’t wait for you to make a russian styled stick ;)

Fantastic work! Thanks for all your work and for sharing this with us.

Can you share a link to the torsion springs you used?

pretty amazing stuff man!

Looks great!

Thank you for all your help!

Nice work.

Great work! So much inspiration there!

Great, just like Otto U2.

Great work! You ought to consider MJF or SLS printing for these since the durability is much higher than FDM. Or you can go all in and make these parts with DMLS. I'd expect the cost to be under a hundred bucks.

Excellent work!

Congrats on the sponsor!

Thank you Astro! 😄

Great work!

Looks good! I have made Yours F4 stick and it came out perfect. I see several different versions of the housing and the trigger. Which ones should I use for the microswithes version?

This one would be Trigger_Housing and Trigger_1 from this page: www.printables.com/model/631511-universal-flight-sim-trigger-module-by-thesimnet/files

I've only got access to a resin printer currently but I want to give some custom building a go

Hey, nice vid ☺️

Great work. I'm going to steal some of my wife's hair clips. Could you post a link to the limit switches you are using?

Yes absolutely, I used these www.amazon.ca/dp/B0C8TKLXW1?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details and also these www.amazon.ca/Twidec-Action-Button-Switch-KW11-3Z01/dp/B07P4CVYNH

Amazing work! Would you also care to include the files for that very first, early design you have shown, involving a microswitch whose lever then hits the second stage tact switch? It would be useful for when the opposite of mil-spec is required, like you mentioned for arcade sims like mechwarrior or space sims with long trigger times (where you want very light actuation force).

@@dcmol83 Merry Christmas to you as well! Both models are backwards compatible. Still a work in progress, I have sent out versions to my testers and currently awaiting feedback!

Really great work. I did something similar in function with an airsoft design of mine. Airsoft has terrible triggers compared to their real counterparts. I achieved the break action with a flexible printed spring as part of the sear. I'm wondering if the sideways force on your switches will result in an eventual shearing?

Great job! Could you please tell me how you made the sticks? I have the entire bottom part of my own done, but can not figure out how to do the top. I am trying to modal a t-37 stick I bought and it is slightly different than the ones you already have. Also different electronics so I cant just steal yours. Please let me know! Thanks you for your time!

Brilliant solution! Is there any concern with potentially shearing off the buttons from the microswitches due to being loaded sideways?

@thesimnet

8 ай бұрын

Thank you! Yes there is - I went through about 20-25 prints before finding an set of angles that reduced the wear to an acceptable level. I think the combination of the softer PLA and reduced angle should keep the change of a shear low. I have been using one of these heavier triggers for about a month now and I haven't had any reduction in sensation, but I will definitely make an update post if something changes.

Im building an ah64 cyclic and its a dual stage trigger. Couldnt figure out a good way to do it. Thank you!!

Amazing job! I've done something similar but yours is better in terms of feelings of stages. Is there any .step file to modify it a little and easier integrate in my project?

Thank you Sergeyi! Unfortunately there is no .step as this is a mesh created in Blender

Do you make throttle quadrants?

What is the difference in the multiple trigger models and the 2 housing models? Thanks.

@thesimnet

The V1 trigger and housing are the tact switch bases triggers, everything else are hte microswitch based triggers. The differences between them are dimensional, one is for an F-15 stick, one is for an F-4 phantom stick, and the other is for an F-18 stick, but they will all function the same way

Need more info on the torsion spring, what angle? How many turns?

@thesimnet

Hi the Torsion spring I am using is .9mm thickness, 7 turns, total width 6.35mm The V1 trigger uses these springs: 1x 0.5615 0.5mm Wire Diameter, 6mm Width, 15mm Length 304 Steel Spring 1x 0.5915 0.5mm Wire Diameter, 9mm Width, 15mm Length 304 Steel Spring

I bought the PLA basic filament from Bambu lab for this model. Do you think I did right?
