Garmin G1000 for flight sim

thingiverse

This is a set of files to laser cut and engrave panels for a G1000 PFD, MFD, and audio panel, along with 3D printing the required button caps and knobs. The G1000 set of panels can then be used with flight simulators such as X-Plane, P3D, or MSFS. The G1000 panels are based on dimensions for the actual units, with accommodations made for the available screen size, buttons, and knobs / encoders available. As such, it's not a perfect 1:1 representation of real devices. But, I feel it's close enough in look and feel, and a lot more immersive than clicking buttons in a 2D/3D cockpit on a computer monitor! Each G1000 panel uses a 10.4" LCD at 1024x768 resolution. Buttons are 7mm x 7mm momentary push buttons. Additional rotary encoders are also required, including five dual rotary encoders and the 4-way mini-joystick with rotary and push control. For electronics, each G1000 unit is powered by an Arduino Mega 2560. The audio panel uses an Arduino Nano. These devices are connected to Air Manager for actual control and simulator integration, though Sim VimCockpit / ArdSimX should also work just fine.
