I have just purchased G1000 V2 because the recommended monitor did not fit in V1, not really happy about that. However, moving forward, where is the print guide located.
I bought V2 also and can’t find the print guide? Some of this page seems incomplete (pictures, steps, parts list) am I looking in the right place?https://www.737diysim.com/build-guides-1/garmin-g1000-v2
I have just checked the build guide and it all seems to be there for me. If you can send a screen shot of the parts missing, that should allow me to fault find further.
I think the parts list is missing the dual stacked encoders (I got the cheaper ones that dont have a nut which is kinda annoying!Also, Step 36 and 37 are blank?
I wasn't inferring that there was anything wrong with your design, it printed well and looked great. The 10.4" monitor does not fit into the frame because it has mounting lugs built onto it. I could not see a way of getting around the problem other than trying to cut the lugs off the monitor, something I did not want to do. V2 has the correct mounting profile for this monitor by the looks of it.
I was surprised that someone had not mentioned it before.
The delay in contacting you is that I had been unable to continue with my build for over a year.
No apologies needed Karl, I see now that it is a complete revamp and not just an update. I shall be printing in the next few hours and see how it all turns out.
It is quite marvellous what you do and really appreciated.
Hello Chris, this is very interesting to hear that the monitor didn't fit. Could you expand a little more? I'm a little worried because, like many, fusion typically shows errors. I now work by the CAD God of fusion 360. If the design doesn't work in cad, then it won't work in real life. But I have not heard of anyone mentioning the whole monitor not fitting. Have you tried calibrating your printer with a calibration cube? I don't mean the standard 20mm cube for fine detail; I recommend upsizing that cube to 100mm minimum. This is essential if you are thinking about version 2, where the panels must fit into the print. I can only apologise, if you had mentioned this at the time, I would have tried to resolve the issue or refund your money. As you can Imagine hearing this 2 years later has come as a bit if a shock. You are also the second person tonight to mention a fault with a design tonight. This was the whole reason I created the forum to correct these issues. As time goes by and the website grows, I do struggle to reply to all questions and remarks. Kind regards, karl
All good for me Karl. Thank you. just finished printing and assembling, looks really great. Regards Chris
