Boeing 737 Throttle Quadrant v3

Build Guide
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.
This 737 Throttle quadrant is the 3rd iteration for the 3d printed Sim community. This unit is much stronger, simpler and better than previous versions! It should also be much cheaper when an Ardunio Micro Pro/Leobodnar interface board at around 3-6 Euros instead of a Leo Bodnar Board costing 25 Euros. This has taken several weeks to perfect, and you can see the final result in my Youtube video.
The unit features:
Operational Speed Brake Lever
Dual independent Thrust Levers
Dual independent Thrust reverser levers utilising potentiometers
Flap lever with gated guards
Bell cut out switch
A/T Disenagage switches
TOGO switches
Operational detente Brake lever
Working Park Brake Light
Operational Fuel Cutoff Levers
Operational Stab Switches x 2
Friction Brakes on the main levers
