3D printed tiller wheel

[Shawn]

I think a 3D part repository is a great idea, I actually brought this up over at Hovercontrol but this would certainly be a better spot. I have a few STL files that I would be happy to share with the group. Part of the fun is in the designing but having the option to download a part might be nice occasionally. I haven't printed this part yet but they will bolt to the helicopter pedals I"m currently working on.

Shawn,

I used 1-part glazing putty which is normally used to fill pinholes, scratches and dents. It is easily sandable starting with 200 grit.

Thanks Pierre, I will pick some up tomorrow and give that a try in my next parts. The pedal covers turned out alright, they have a first coat of paint. Printed at 100% infill for durability.

Well I could not wait until I moved I had a break over xmas and put the printer together and made my first item ( the yoke trim switch thing)..after many many attempts...best I can say at the moment is "acceptable" BUT with a few coats of high build filler primer and some body putty it will be just fine...maybe when its finished I will pop in some pictures but too ashamed right now

Hello All, I will email Matt Olieman to find out if we can add a section to the downloads area for 3D printing files for you guys!
Best Regards

If youy heat a pail of acetone with a pad heater then hold the part in the vapor above the liqud for 6 sec.it will smooth it out.
