Boeing 737 lower Overhead Panel (Latest version) for DIY Simulator

thingiverse

Notice: this overhead panel is not 1:1 size with real 737 overhead panel (this is a little smaller) after some testing with 1:1 sizing I noticed that few of the parts ain't gonna fit in standard MakerBot printing bed so everything would need cutting and that makes whole thing ugly! This is my Boeing 737 simulator project overhead panel and it's latest version. Experimental backlight version is coming later. Notes and features: Huge amount of switch holes. Possibility for gauges All panels starting with letter G are intended to be gray color All panels starting with letter W are intended to be white color All G_ADD* panels are additional gray panels Led boxes are meant to be glued behind panels No labels or backlight availability Use label printer to create text labels Needed/recommended electronics: BBI-32 cardshttp://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=94&products_id=205 BU0836X cardshttp://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=94&products_id=180 FSX Linda for configuring buttonshttp://www.fs-linda.com/ Suitable annunciators for these panels:http://www.cockpitsimparts.co.uk/index.php?id_category=20&controller=category OpenCockpits USBOutputs for annunciator ledshttp://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/usboutputs-p-122.html?cPath=21_44 SIOC example for USBOutputs card: var 8000 name NAME LINK FSUIPC_IN Offset $OFFSET Length 1 { IF &OFFSET = 0 { &OFFSET_led = 0 } ELSE { &OFFSET_led = 1 } } var 9000 name OFFSET_led Link IOCARD_OUT Device X Output XX UPDATE HISTORY 1/28/15: Added two new files G13_ALTERNATIVE = two new rotary switch holes for circuit breakers = backlighting control and adjustment switches G28_ALTERNATIVE = Old one has 5 buttons (PMDG 737 has 5), but if you need 6 button holes then here it is (Example: cpflight 737 ovhd has 6) Older 2015 updates Added new picture from my own print.
