Are files available to laser cut our own parts?

I don't believe so. Okona is working on a full DIY kit to go with the VPForce motor kits, but if I am not mistaken he is going to produce and sell them.

@will3d good guide for 3D printer tuning https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/
This is actually for the VORON printers but can also be applied to most others.

The GitHub that AsBurli linked for mabo1972 and a few other options you might find are built for the 57BLF size motor kits. If you buy the bigger motors (86BLF) you will need to modify the files or design your own.

I would like to know that too. By copying the weapon_release effect I added a very simple feedback for the flaps on all Jet Aircrafts using the aircrafts.py file (not realistic at all :D). But when I tried to add Landing gear transition and airbreak (which I believe are their status values - noted in Purple on the picture) I was unable to do. I am too dumb to understand any of this and I just "monkey see monkey do" with the already added effect. Maybe someone more clever can use the Runway_Rumble or the Buffeting telemetry as a model to help us implement the others.

Ah, ok, I downloaded the executable release (which works fine), should've gone for the script version, I guess?

I'm going to try sink my teeth into it on Sunday, hopefully. Should it skip my mind, ping me and I'll share my findings.

thank you

Will3D•3/30/23, 6:07 PM

Thanks, I'll take a look. I did complete my calibration cubes. They turned out a little over sized. X - 20.1 Y - 20.08 Z isn't really an issue in this situation.

Will3D•3/30/23, 6:10 PM

So perhaps that .5-1% is what is causing the issue. Whilst I don't think I can tune that out in the printer, I can simply scale accordingly. Might be worth a shot.

TheAmazinGreat•3/30/23, 6:16 PM

Can you modify the steps/mm through the printers user interface? Is there a settings/advanced settings menu option? Most firmwares I have seen allow this so you don’t have to connect to a PC

mechsicko•3/30/23, 7:29 PM

There are a few out there, including the one walmis modified to make the stock Rhino from on github. There are a few iterations of Propeller's floating around but I don't have links off-hand.

As @.aniron mentioned I am developing a kit to accompany walmis's motor kits. My focus on 1. kinematics 2. form factor and 3. mounting options, and got the shell down to a 150mm cube that can be bottom/top/front or back mounted. I've been posting progress on in the showcase channel https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/972180323787997255/1087148842589360128

Will3D•3/30/23, 7:48 PM

I don't believe that is an option on the Flashforge UI.

RustBelt•3/30/23, 8:23 PM

You’ll probably have to go into G-code to do it. I had to with my little Monoprice Mini. Either direct USB injection or a lump of G-Code on an SD card to run.

Flashforge use proprietary code. So can’t do that.

inpayne•3/31/23, 12:58 AM

Does the a4 have any ffb capabilities?

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 1:26 AM

if it did it would be the best community mod ever (not that it wasnt already but you know what i mean)

inpayne•3/31/23, 4:32 AM

Just curious. I’m #76 so waiting patiently I should have my hands on one to try soon

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:33 AM

yeah ive no clue if it does or not, would be amazing if so

inpayne•3/31/23, 4:33 AM

Also I’m sure I will figure it out soon enough. But do different airframes have different base setting profiles? How does that work…

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:34 AM

i assume itd b based on what devs put

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:34 AM

if ur talking dcs modules at least

inpayne•3/31/23, 4:34 AM

Yeah

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:34 AM

im #98 so not too far behind

inpayne•3/31/23, 4:34 AM

I’ll download the software but been out of town for a couple weeks and will continue to be for another week or so. So was just curious while I’m on the road and can’t do anything anyway

JJon (Bounty_V)im #98 so not too far behind

inpayne•3/31/23, 4:35 AM

Nice just paid for mine with 6 to go it looks like. Hopefully it won’t take long. But no rush.

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:35 AM

as i understand it best dcs modules are f14 and mirage f1

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:35 AM

in regards to dev implemented ffb

inpayne•3/31/23, 4:36 AM

I’m most excited for the f14, warbirds and helicopters.

inpayne•3/31/23, 4:36 AM

And the easy switch between them. I hope… ha

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:39 AM

once i have mine ill begin adding flight sim gear to my new racing rig

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:39 AM

gonna try center mounting the rhino

inpayne•3/31/23, 4:41 AM

Nice. I currently have a cm3 with long extention on a center desk mount. I’ll probably have to use a shorter extension or not one at all with the vp I’m guessing.

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:42 AM

its basically as tall as a virpil stick

RRustBelt https://github.com/markwal/GPX

mechsicko•3/31/23, 4:42 AM

Unless I'm missing something that is about the gcode it uses to slice/print from, x3g. The gcode you adjust for pid tuning is in the printer's firmware, which I gather is some variant of Sailfish on Flashforge machines. That's where the adjustments to steps/mm are made, not the slicer. Can a Flashforge printer hook up to a computer via USB? If so can't one just use Pronterface or Octoprint to access Sailfish to tweak pid like any other printer's firmware?

JJon (Bounty_V)its basically as tall as a virpil stick

inpayne•3/31/23, 4:42 AM

The vp base?

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:42 AM

the rhino base yeah

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:43 AM

maybe slightly taller?

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:44 AM

I'll probably grab a vkb ultimate grip then get both a 100mm and 200mm extension at the same time, surely one of em will do the trick

inpayne•3/31/23, 4:47 AM

I seen it next to a cm3 and it seemed considerably taller, and with the cm3 and 200mm extension it’s on the border of too tall already my chair won’t go up any higher. Next house I’m building a proper sim pit

inpayne•3/31/23, 4:50 AM

It’s too bad razbam don’t have any ffb, because they are so great otherwise

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/31/23, 4:50 AM

yeah it sounded like they dont have a clue how to implement it

Magpie•3/31/23, 4:51 AM

I had to cut a whole in the Sim pit floor to make it work with a 200mm extension
