The ultimate printer I can recommend is the Bamboo Labs X1 carbon with AMS if you have deep pockets. ($1200). It's a massive leap forward in 3D printing, with excellent quality and impressive speeds. Its pretty much press print and go as the software and hardware do the calibration before each print. This printer will not manage the larger parts and you are going to need the  CREALITY CR10 v3, which is my second choice of printer.

737 SINGLE YOKE HEAD.jpg

This Design is for a single 737 Yoke Control Head. The centring mechanism and force feel are provided within the control head itself by a 3" spring. The roll channel input is taken by a HQ 10KOhm Potentiometer. This is also fitted within the head unit.

This unit can be completely 3d printed (less hardware).

This is design is now printed and tested and already has had some great positive feedback.

This design requires a print size of 220mm x 220mm.
