Hello, need help choosing an appropriate 3D printer suitable for printing knobs......thanks
Question
Hello fellow cockpit builders,
I succesfully configured my displays on my home-made MCP to be used with the Zibo737 (XP11), using Mobiflight. They are all working fine.
But the issue I have is when my aircraft is loaded with no engines running all my display are displaying info. I am using Mobiflight with a self written XPUIPC-Offset.cfg
But the MCP of the Zibo737 are all dark and not displaying anything.
I also want my displays on my MCP to have the same state, meaning off.
Anybody have an idea how to get this fixed or programmed? I could do something with power lines to my LED-segments, but I guess this will result in I/O issues between Mobiflight and the displays...?
I am curious if you guys run in the same challenge I am doing right now. Maybe when you're using P3D you don't have this issue. I am also not using ProSim, because it's out of my budget at the moment.
Greetings,
Jeroen
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?
For knobs, an SLA printer will give you much better results. Take a look at the Prusa SL1.
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.
