I would like to add here that all the cyclic parts can be printed on a stock Prusa i3 MK3S+ that has a printbed of 250*210mm, the tightest part being the "Sweep back" which just barely fit if you place it in a slight diagonal over the bed (still flat along the bed as per the picture on the print guide).
This is why I ask your 2nd choice printer is only 220x220 but you only recommend the bigger one.To me this read as both printer will do the job it was only I found a post accidentally that i ask this question before paying for the Cyclic, Collective & twist grip.
If you read the build guide as I did then go to the store page and do not scroll all the way to the bottom of the page you miss the build plate size.
I have edited the wording on Karl's behalf to make is much clearer:
Our 3D Printer of choice right now is theCREALITY CR10 v3
It has excellent print & build quality for the price. It is Silent and has a larger print bed of 300 x300mm. Karl personally recommends it for his sim builds. It's currently the only printer that allows all his designs to be created on.
​
Karl's Second cheaper choice is the CREALITY ENDER 3 v2. Smaller printer bed of 220 x220mm. But performs excellently and has a purchase price of around $200. Please note, you are then limited to the smaller sim builds. Not all sim designs can be created with this printer.

Hello,
All the helicontrols require a print bed of 300 x 300mm. The forces involved would not support the splitting of parts.
Kind regards, Karl
