Hello HookWL, I honestly cannot recommend any 3d printer because i only have one, and i have been told it not very good despite it working perfectly for me. My 3d printer is a Tronxy A8 which i got from eBay for £109. People have said that the layer quality is poor.
The other printer i have been looking at is the ender 3 and creality. But had had no experience with either. Perhaps a google search of the best 10, 3d printers?
I can’t recommend an Ender 3 enough. Once you have the settings dialed in, the prints are amazing and for not super expensive. I have the Pro version which I also recommend.
I'm not sure on the size, but the pedals with the amount of force being applied might be printed in two halves, then silicone molded so resin can be poured in the mold. The amount of force they will constantly be applied with may need something stronger than a 3D print.
I have a Creality Ender 3 (pro) for about 150 euro's and i must say....im pretty pleased with it, the results are great, sometimes you have to fiddle a bit to get it right, but hee, that is sim building at it's best ;-)
I just got a 3d printer second hand from a friend that has upgraded to a larger one, it is a tronxy X5S with a 33*33*40 print area.
I'm planning to renew my build with some printed parts.
My question is what is the best material to print the cockpit parts, I've looked around, but i can't find anywhere the material they are made of, pla, abs
I use PLA. I’ve had good results with SuperFila off of Amazon. It’s pretty cheap (around $15 USD). I always print in a bright white and paint after the print. A little high build primer will help smooth lines out. My panels are all backlit as well and I 3D printed them.

Karl, have just received your reply, thank you.
For knobs, an SLA printer will give you much better results. Take a look at the Prusa SL1.
Thank you, will do some more homework

Thank you sir, looks very impressive and very reasonably priced
I am curious what is the minimum print capability to be able to produce the 737 pedals. Is a 220x220x300mm bed size large enough?

Thank you for the reply, I'll think about how best to do this.

I use an Ender 3 pro and the results are excellent!

Thanks for the information and great advise, i'll give it a try
