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 Auto Brake Panel is a 3D printable model for true aviation enthusiasts. This panel features authentic slew switches with precise 30 and 60-degree detents, ensuring a realistic tactile feel every time you use it.
Key Features:
True-to-life slew switches: Experience genuine 30 and 60-degree detents for accurate control and feedback.
Complete replication: Faithfully reproduces all the features of the actual panel fitted in the aircraft, ensuring an immersive experience.
Lift-to-turn antiskid selection knob: Includes the unique lift-to-turn mechanism at RTO, mirroring the real-world functionality of the antiskid system.
Crafted with precision, this panel is perfect for those who demand functionality and authenticity in their flight simulation setups. Download, print, and assemble your 737SS Auto Brake Panel to bring the cockpit of a 737 right into your home.
This panel is your gateway to a more realistic and engaging flying experience, ideal for aviation hobbyists, flight simulators, and professional training environments.
