I drew up some samples from pics on the net…
I think the ribs need to be a little bigger.
This forum is magic.
In my experience the throttle isn’t so tapered, it’s basically a cylinder. Though I haven’t see all models.
With the amazing stuff you’ve been building @Troll, “No, you can be mine.”
Anyway, one of the photos didn’t attach
Like @Andrew116 said it’s more cylindrical with a roundish end and a slight tapering.
I think troll has got the tapering down to be honest. Might be a bit off but not much.
The CAD 3D view doesn’t show the perspective. The taper is only 10%. But I think the taper perhaps should be slightly curved…? I’ll draw up a test…
This doesn’t look better to me, although I don’t have much of a comparison with the real thing.
The “customer” is satisfied. Mission complete.
Thanks for the input and help!
Hi, Troll!
Would you be so kind to share your 3D models of Cessna knobs?
I am building DIY TPM controls and would be very happy to 3D print your knobs for my project.
Thank you!
Thanks for instant response! I am still waiting for controller from UK, once put everything together I’ll update the pics
Amazign design @Troll , Im new on the forum. Is there a way I can contact you? I´m working on A TPM prototype with these knobs.
