Boeing 737 Single Control Column Base (SCCB)
This page is split into three main sections:
Parts Guide
Print Guide
Build Guide
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.

This new design is a revised version of the old unit that was previously removed. The reason for the removal was due to the difficulty many people faced when trying to find the correct size tube. The updated version uses a UK standard metric 75mm OD PCV pipe and Karl has completely reworked the design from scratch. Karl has replaced the pots with hall sensors, simplified the design in Printing and Assembly, and made it possible to mount the unit under or on the floor.

Please refer to the Build Step 2 video. Place the drill guide over the end of the PVC pipe. Ensure it's precisely 90 degrees to the SCH. As shown in the video, use a straight line edge from the SCH's centre marking to the drill guide's two drill holes. Pre Drill both holes to 4mm. Flip the unit over 180 degrees and repeat, but ensure the drill guide does not move.
