Landing Gear Lever Box

thingiverse

#Landing Gear Lever Box Custom made (to be 3D printed), landing gear lever box and mechanism. The mechanism is based on a couple of spring loaded CAMs, that provide feedback on both directions. Once in position two electromagnetic door locks keep the lever in place. The lever position is sensed by means of two limit switches. The model is intended to be used in home cockpits and fits nicely in an F-16 non commercial home cockpit. This thing can be easily interfaced to a psCockpit (or any board capable of providing two 5V outputs), and obviously to your preferred flight simulator (Falcon BMS or DCS). The gates are fed with 12V, pretty common tension in a usual PC PSU. ## 3D printing The lever has a couple of features, such as an internal duct for cables, and two slots to stop the printing and fit two hexagonal M3 nuts. Take care of it when 3D printing. I'd suggest printing the Landing Gear Lever Cap with transparent filament, while everything else is just fine with a grey filament. ## Application examples: ✓ F-16 home cockpit Landing Gear Lever Box / Panel ## Take a look to the video of the landing gear panel and lever demo: https://youtu.be/aMGzdWWvdWY ## More info on the project https://giovannimedici.wordpress.com/2020/05/14/f-16-landing-gear-panel/
