Virpil CM3 Throttle Lock Plug

thingiverse

This is for the Virpil CM3 throttle. It is meant as a plug for the throttle lock to eliminate the play between the two throttles when locked together. WARNING: THIS NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED!! In it's current state, it will not fit over the lock shaft. It needs to be hollowed out slightly. I used a dremel tool inserted into a drill press (to slow down the rotation - the dremel was way too fast). Once the plug slides over the lock shaft easily, it should work. You may need to sand the outer tube a bit to get it to fit inside the throttle hole. You could also edit the dimensions yourself, and print it so that it fits without modification, but you'd have to ensure that your printer can print with those dimensions. WARNING #2: In your slicer settings, make sure you set your diameter to 0.3 instead of the default 0.48, otherwise it will not print the tube. You can even go smaller than that if you have a smaller nozzle, which I would recommend using. If you do use a smaller nozzle (smaller than 0.4mm), you may not have to modify the tube very much at all. WARNING #3: Make sure you have the correct size of the part in your slicer! You may need to resize it. For reference, the outer most diameter should be 0.5" (half inch). Good luck!!
