C172 Lower Panel

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.
Designed to fit in the lower section of the C172 instrument panel. All the parts can be 3d Printed. This unit houses the Magneto switch, CB's, Throttle lever, Mix Lever and Flaps Lever.
