Artemis Starship Bridge Simulator Control Panels

thingiverse

These are the first versions of my Artemis control panels that I 3D printed. They are made to be used with 12mmx12mmx12mm momentary tactile buttons. I am going to update this a bit more in future, but I wanted to put something up. Use it if you want to. If you dont know what Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator is, try this link; https://artemisspaceshipbridge.com/ The parts are meant to be used with 1/2" MDF. Holes were cut into the MDF and LED ribbon adhered to the inside. The top and bottom are secured with m4 screws. The bottoms are designed so that the screw will creat a thread, sono nuts should be needed, but that can very with the printer. Printed on Ender 3 and CR10. I print the tops face down with no support. Printed at .2mm in inland black and clear PETG (LEDs can get hot, you will want something that wont melt) at 30mm/s, 7mm retraction, 1.2mm shell thickness on all sides and combing mode: All turned on. I printed the model face down using black PETG and no supports and then changed over to clear after 3-4 layers of black. I find it usually takes at least 3 layers of the black before it is opaque enough to block the LED light. The words/numbers are either raised or lowered from the surface .05", so you should have around 6-7 layers before you HAVE to change to transparent. Once print is complete you should have a really good faceplate that is really easy to backlight.
