Let’s break down the wiring into a few smaller chapters. May even call it chunks, which more or less corresponds to the printer enclosure functions I have implemented, one after each other. These are – The “power box”, LED stripe, Continue reading The Tale of Building an enclosure for Prusa MK4S – Wiring
In this chapter you can read about the 3D prints that I’ve printed when working on my printer enclosure. Some were modified, some I’ve modeled myself. Although, don’t expect to find here exact assembly instructions. That would require much more Continue reading The Tale of Building an enclosure for Prusa MK4S – Printed parts
A few words for the introduction Circuit Breaker panel is another part of the cockpit that I started to build on the foundations of Captains Bob’s C172 cockpit. But this one appeared to be a little bit more challenging. Starting Continue reading Circuit Breaker Panel
After I finished the first stage of building my flight simulator cockpit … which followed afterwords I made myself happy by finally getting a 3D printer .. and some successful 3D prints … like “must have” stuff like the Stargate Continue reading The Tale of Building an enclosure for Prusa MK4S – The Idea
What to write in conclusion? It is actually not the complete conclusion. This and previous “articles” describe only the first stage of my cockpit project. Although I still don’t know if and what stages will follow. You may remember when somewhere at the beginning I wrote something like “In 3 months it could be done, I thought to myself”… Continue reading Conclusion of the first phase, summary, and thanks
I originally wanted to call this chapter “Air Conditioning”, but my system is missing some components to fulfill the meaning of the word. So instead of the “air distribution system from under the table to on top of the table” I called it the shorter term “Ventilation”. Continue reading Ventilation system
I have added the compass as last instrument, beyond the things I had planned for the first version of the cockpit, and only when the cockpit was almost finished. But it somehow occurred to me that it must not be missing and that it would not be so complicated. Continue reading Compass
The ELT panel is used to control the “Emergency Locator Transmitter”. It’s a comprehensive panel that I designed myself (for my cockpit, not that it doesn’t exist in real life). It contains one diode and one three-position switch. Continue reading ELT Panel
I’ve designed the things around the PFD and MFD, i.e. those two touch screens, by myself for my own use. From the very beginning, I had the goal of making cover frames with different cut-outs (for round, square and other types of instruments), to cover displays and thus simulate the instrument panels of various airplanes. Continue reading PFD & MFD
The altimeter was the first flight instrument that I printed out and tried to make work from Captain Bob’s Cessna 172 project. I didn’t have to adjust anything, all the parts fit together even with the 3mm covering plexiglass. Continue reading Instrument panel – Altimeter
