The ultimate printer I can recommend is the Bambu Labs X1 carbon with AMS or P1P if you have deep pockets. ($1200). It's a massive leap forward in 3D printing, with excellent quality and impressive speeds. It's pretty much press print and go as the software and hardware do the calibration before each print.
The 737SS 6 Pack Warning Units are for those seeking nearly realistic simulation hardware. They leverage 3D printing technology and genuine Boeing design principles and dimensions.
Authentic Design: Modeled to match the exact dimensions of Boeing's 6 packs.
Ease of Assembly: Features two dedicated PCBs, simplifying the build process and ensuring proper functionality.
Tactile Excellence: Equipped with 4 high-quality Alps press buttons, providing a satisfying tactile experience.
Advanced Features: Newer boards come with integrated resistors for improved performance.
Innovative Front Film: The anti-slip front film enhances grip, conceals the display when off, and ensures clear visibility when illuminated.

This Wiring Diagram is for the Common Anode Version. (An error with LED placement on the PCB made them perfect for the output shift registers on the BOB, resulting in the common ground becoming the common Anode.)
If you have the Orange LED version, then you must use 50 Ohm Resistors (56 Ohm is the nearest)
If you have the White LED Version, then you must use 33 Ohm Resistors
