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 Tiller Mechanism is a robust, customizable control unit designed for simulation enthusiasts and makers. Engineered for strength, precision, and tactile feedback, this kit transforms your sidewall setup into a professional-grade interface. The tiller aids in ground manoeuvring the aircraft, allowing significantly tighter turn radii compared to using rudder pedals alone.
