IFEI for F/A-18C

thingiverse

After I recieved an IFEI, which had some display issues, I got a perfect one delivered.I wanted to give my old one to a friend of mine, who said, he doesn't need all of the numbers on the old IFEI, so I decided to build him a casing for the pcb.This is what came out.I'm not an engineer or the best builder, so take it as it is.It comes with a stand and a housing, be advised, that you still have to put a hole in both of them, if you want the IFEI-brightness-potentiometer. There's also a deeper version of the housing.Print the lowest layer with translucent PLA/resin.Print the buttons with transparent filament/resin (and supports depending on how you print them) and just paint the front surface black.Don't forget to print the arrow (Button_Pfeil) twice... ;-)The text on the buttons is engraved, so you can sand it (carefully) to get a plain surface, you may print it upside down, just as your printer does it better.If you have the opportunity to resin-print the buttons, this may be the better option in terms of resolution of the letters.Be aware that the button-frame (Knopfplatte_final) only fits in one direction, you may have to turn it, until you get it fitted.
