Hola, sobre el efecto de retroiluminación, he hecho un paso a paso explicando el proceso con fotos.

No te preocupes, es un proceso simple (y es el mismo para mis paneles de Airbus, Embraer y Boeing). La idea principal es básicamente que las letras en los paneles están un poco más elevadas que la superficie. Así que, cuando imprimes los paneles con PLA transparente, los pintas con el color deseado y luego los lijas cuidadosamente, quitas la pintura que cubre las letras, permitiendo que la luz pase a través de ellas y creando el efecto de retroiluminación.

Aquí están los pasos: Paso 1 - https://imgur.com/pUW31WV

Avísame si entendiste el proceso, si tienes alguna duda, solo pregunta =)

Hello Jhama

Unfortunately for the E190 I currently only have the Overhead panels avaliable. Yes, they’re 1:1 to the real Overhead size

Let me know if I can help you with anything else =D

Regards,
RDDesgins.

would there be any way to have the other panels done? im building a cockpit and im going to buy the overhead very soon but im going to need the other ones done.

If there’s anything that we can work out that would be amazing because I really need this.

Hello Jhama

Sorry but unfortunately there’s a very low demand by the costumers for the Embraer Panels, for that reason I’ll only be working on modelling the rest of the cockpit after completing the A320 and 737 sets :(

Let me know if I can help you with anything else! =D

Hello Ranae =)

The korry switch cutouts are 16x16mm square's.
About the full cockpit set, let me know your email so we can discuss further details about it.

Regards,
RDDesigns.

Hi, is there any way that the cutouts can be changed to 19x19 as I have already ordered korry switches with those dimensions. You can contact me at seetheworlda350@ gmail. com . Make sure you get rid of the spaces in the email because if I didn’t put them cults would block my comment.

Thanks,

Hello Gary =D

If you're referring to the A320 Overhead panels, the biggest piece of the split version is the bottom part of the Left Side Panel (wich was split in 2 parts), and it measures 209mm x 145mm. You'll be able to print the panels with any bed size larger than 209x209mm.

Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Hello Bonobu

I do not sell / have any "official" korry model avaliable, what I usually do when any costumer ask is sent the korry file I used with my panels, wich I got from thingiverse and remixed the design =)

I do have some tips, specially in making the Korry lenses. Just let me know your email and I'll send you some photos and the files of it.

Regards,
RDDesigns.

And can u tell me how you make the other switches in the FCU? Push and Pull and other

Hey Fer_07

No, Unfortunately I don’t have it :(

Due to the low number of sales and demand for the Embraer E1 panels, I have decided to put the project of producing new panels on hold for the time being.

Let me know if I can help you with anything else! =D

Regards,
RDDesigns.

can i pay for that project? how much would it cost? cheers

Hello Jeffrey

Sorry for the delayed response. About the ADIRS, there's no need to use a screen for the "on bat" annunciator. I created a sticker and glued in a sheet of 0.5mm PETG to create the display effect.

About the voltage display's, there are 2 options. You can use the same technique and create a fake display with a fixed voltage value (wich is what I did for my Ovhd), or you can use a 3 digit display compatible with mobiflight in order to make a functional voltage annunciator.

I'll be sending the files and links to your email, let me know if I can help you with anything else =)

KAV simulations now do a sweet custom LCD for this which is what i have to use

Hello David

email is davidcollett5@gmail.com and thanks im very new so would have no idea how to remix it just yet

And could I use this project for a CNC engraving machine?

Hello =)

About the glareshield panels, the measurements are:
156 x 90 mm for each Efis panel
260 x 90 mm for the FCU panel
326 x 80 mm for each Warning panel

About the CNC/Engraving, unfortunately this project can only be used with 3D printers. I do not offer any .svg or laser engraving file.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Hello =)

Sorry for the delayed response. Answering your question is a bit tricky because it depends on what skills you already have. Putting together this whole overhead panel requires a few things like 3D printing, knowing your way around painting and sanding, having some basic to medium electronics know-how, and getting the hang of Mobiflight software.

When I built my own panel, I only knew the basics of electronics, so I had to learn everything else, which took quite a bit of time (getting the hang of my 3D printer and adjusting everything was probably the toughest part).

So, if you only have experience in one of these areas, it might be a bit of a challenge to make these panels. But it's definitely not impossible and can be a lot of fun, especially if you're into aviation. For folks already familiar with 3D printing and wich have some basic electronics skills, getting the hang of Mobiflight and doing the paint job will be a much smoother ride towards putting the whole overhead together.

About costs, I spent approximately 200-250 dollars to do the entire Overhead (including all material's used like: Filament, switches, leds, paint's, but not the 3D printer) I believe that you can aim on spending (in the worst case something from 300-350 dollars (for the materials).

Hello Jeffrey =)

I just split the file again to better fit your printer. Please let me know if it works for you now
Also, I sent you an email and would appreciate it if you could check it.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Regards,
RDDesigns.

I’ve replied to your email, thanks so much for re-splitting the panel.

Also i forgot to ask how much Filament did you used 1kg, 2kg?

I can answer some of these questions:

1. I’m not sure from the top of my head, but I’m printing on a smaller bed using the “split panel” files provided when you buy these.

2. He will send you them soon enough, just let me know if you don’t get them and i can send them to you. The files he sends are scaled up into an oblivion, all you have to do is scale the inside part of the korry down to 1%, if you can’t figure this out let me know and I’ll send you a file that is the correct size.

3. The software you will use is Mobiflight - it’s a free software and is easy to use once you get the hang of it, no need to code anything. This will be connected to X-Plane or MSFS (I use MSFS).

4. Cost isn’t an easy thing to say - I’m in the middle of building my Overhead and I’ve currently spent ≈ £150 (Not including 3d printer) and I’m aiming for under £500 for the whole overhead. Trust me you spend more than you think.

5. As for 3D printer; I use the Voxelab Aquila x2 which is very similar to the popular Ender 3. I’m not the best to ask about this as I’m
   A beginner to 3d printing myself. But really any beginner 3d printer should be fine.

6. No idea on filament as I’ve only just started.

All of the switches and knobs, stuff like that i get off of either Aliexpress or Amazon. Aliexpress has very cheap switches but take ages to arrive. Amazon are more expensive but arrive much quicker. Remember that the switches do add up in price and you’ll be spending hundreds before you know it.

Also; this is a big project so before you start remember that it’s going to take a while and there will be ups and downs but just keep at it because the end result will be worth it.

I’m not the creator of these panels (not talented enough for that) so don’t give me any credit for these panels. I’m just someone in the middle of my Overhead project.

I hope I’ve helped and enjoy the process!

Oh and also I forgot to say, make sure you join the Mobiflight Discord Server. They really are the pros and will help you with anything.

Hello mate thank so you so much! That really helps me a lot. As i am just 15 years old i also was preparing myself for ups and downs anyways i really apreciate your help! And good luck with your project tooo!!!!

👍

Let me know if you have any more question.

Hello CaptainLew08 =D

Sorry for the delayed response, everything Jeffrey said is correct. Let me just complement with some information.

1 - About the bed size, a 320 x 320 x 385mm would be perfect for the job, since the biggest panels are 315mm large you'll be able to print any of them without needing to use the split files and then put the two pieces together (which is a method that also work's pretty well, that's how I did my real Overhead from the pictures, although I recommend you print the panels at once to save yourself some tedious work)

2 - Sure, I'll send you the files right now.

3 - Jeffrey just said it all, go with Mobiflight and join the discord server. After watching some tutorial's you'll see it is a must have software. I love it.

4 - About costs, I spent approximately 200-250 dollars to do the entire Overhead (including all material's used like: Filament, switches, leds, paint's, but not the 3D printer) I believe that you can aim on spending (in the worst case something from 300-350 dollars (for the materials).

5 - About the 3D printer, besides the bed size (which the 320x320mm can save you some work) there's not much to care about.

For the filament, I don't remember exactly, its been a while since I finished my project but I believe it was something about 2kg of transparent PLA for the panel's and 1kg of black PLA for the korry's.

Just let me know if you need anything else, and also thank's Jeffrey for helping with the answers =)

RDDesigns.

Alright great thank you so much.

Hello Leemddison =)

There are some panels in the Airbus Ultimate Kit that cannot be printed on a Ender 3 (EFIS, FCU and Warning panels, from the Glareshield set). I didn't make a split version of them (wich fits the Ender 3 bed size) until now because no costumer has required it yet, but if you need it, let me know and I'll provide that.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Hey Jeffrey

I bought a sheet of 0.5mm PETG, and used some stickers to make them. The sheet is quite flexible, but when you cut it in tiny square’s (with regular scissors), they become much more harder, so it works pretty well.

I tried 3D printing them but the result was bad. That was the best solution I found for making it without using a laser machine.

Regards,
RDDesigns.

Thanks for the help, where did you buy the stickers?

Hello Jeffrey

I bought a special A4 format film that allows you to make the stickers at home with any conventional printer, but to be honest I wouldn't recommend this method because the stickers end up with the paint being a little "thin" and allow light to pass through even in the black areas of the korry face’s, wich which led me to need to stick one sticker on top of the other on each korry to make it work great.

I believe if you make the sticker’s on a local print shop the result’s would be much better, so that would be my recommendation =D

Korry switch* I meant.

Hey Jeffrey

Just sent you the files.

Can you send it to me too? Im gonna buy your product soon im pretty sure

Hi

Just updated all the files, now all Boeing 737 Overhead panels can be printed on any regular Ender3, or a minimum 235x235mm bed size.
Download the files again and it should work fine for you now =)

Let me know if you need anything else.

Great, thank you very much for your speed, this file is perfect

You’re welcome =D

Hello Bonkersbeaver =)

The korry squares on the panels are 16x16mm. This measurement was found by seeking picture's on the Internet of people measuring real korry's. I would say that the panels could have a +− 2mm error, but they seem to be a pretty accurate 1:1 to the real Overhead.

Here's one of the pics from a real korry that I used as a base to make them. By that photo I assume that the korry face is probably something about 15-16mm, wich is why I ended up with the 16mm measurement: https://imgur.com/a/fV7HmUq

By the way, I'm going to take a deeper look at this measurement and see if there is anything more accurate on the internet, although precise sources of this measurements are quite hard to find.

Regards,
RDDesigns.

Thanks for the help, it looks like you’re right on the measurement. I just thought it felt a little small.

Hello Jeffrey.

About the photos with the green lines, these are actually renders of the 3D model. Those are not from my physical Overhead.
I still hasn't figured out how to make them glow perfectly with the Overhead backlight using the marker technique, altough some costumers reported that it worked nicely for them.

By the way I didn't tried any other techniques on making those green lines work since a long time ago. If you find a better solution for them feel free to share with us here =D

Let me know if you need anything else.

Regards,
RDDesigns.

Thanks for your help,

my idea is to paint them on with a transparent green marker and backlight them so that the light shines through; If anyone has any better ways please reply.

I’ll let you know how it goes, it will be a while.

Hello =)

If you're referring to the A320 Overhead Panels or the E1 Overhead, yes. All of them can be print with your printer. The bigger panels are avaliable on a "splited" version, wich allows you to print them on smaller printers, such as the Ender 3 wich has a 220x220mm bed size.

About my other files (The glareshield panels, 737 overhead...) they don't have a splited version yet because no costumer has required yet, but if you need it, just let me know and I'll provide that for you :)

Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Hello Shauncb :)

I actually do have a korry file, wich I remixed from a free model I found on thingiverse, it uses one 8x8mm tacticle switch and two 3mm leds. The issue is that I made it about 15% downscaled, to match with my physical overhead (wich was also downscaled to fit better above my monitor). I can send you the files by email if you wish so, but It may need some adjustments/scaling to fit on the real scale Overhead (lol).

If you wan't it anyway,tell me your email and I'll send the files for you.
