Bring a clean, professional look to your home cockpit with the 737DIYSIM C172 Avionics Switch Panel, purpose‑designed for high‑quality 3D printing. This panel has been carefully adapted for FDM printers, featuring larger‑than‑standard text and a slightly oversize layout to ensure exceptional clarity, sharp legends, and an aesthetically pleasing finish straight off the print bed.
 
Designed for Beautiful, Crisp Prints
Every detail, every line, text size, spacing, and panel proportions have been refined to achieve the best possible print quality across a wide range of printers. Whether you are printing on a basic single-colour machine or a multi-colour system like Bambu AMS, this panel delivers impressive visual results with minimal effort.
 
Backlight‑Ready Design
For builders looking to elevate realism, the panel supports 12V LED strip backlighting.
On multi-colour printers, the white text can be printed as a continuous core through the panel, creating an authentic glow, similar to traditional “stick of rock” candy.
If backlighting isn’t required, you can print the text as a simple white top layer over grey, which is faster but still highly readable.
 
Full CAD + STL Access
Every download includes:
STL files ready for printing
Native CAD files, allowing you to adjust dimensions for your printer’s tolerances or customise the panel to your own cockpit layout
