So I’m starting this thread to be a platform to help develop the “perfect” detent layout.
I’ve started by moving CL, FLEX and TOGA closer to each other to make zero to CL longer allowing for finer adjustments. and from there I’m trying to get definitive detents as they aren’t that noticeable right now.
I have also started work on a decal but I won’t publish that until I’m happy with the positions.
Currently there are 3 versions available on Thingiverse and they all have their issues with v4 and v5 on the way.
Please any advice or suggestions are so very welcomed.

Great work. However a suggestion for the mapping could be very helpful.

Currently the closest to i’ve gotten to my detents with v5 is as follows
Sensitivity neg -54%
Sensitivity pos 80%
dead zone 7%
Neutral -56%
TOGA is at 100%
FLEX is at 97%
CL is at 92%
IDLE is at 0%
REVERSE neg 20%
I’m tweaking the model to hopefully rectify the +2% on FLEX and CL

Does anyone else have a better configuration to any of the versions.
also v6 is the closest and has very clear detents.

Nice work! Thank You!
When I load v6 into Cura, it’s laying down. Is this the right way to print it? I’m a beginner.
I also wonder if I need 2 prints or if this is the part between the axis that you change.
I wasn’t even aware that I had a problem with my new hardware… it has worked fine until now…

Yes printing it on its side is best. I use supports a raft and 0.08 layer height at 50% infil, PLA at 185*C.
You will need two of them.
I’m going to upload the .gx file to Thingiverse and you should be able to load that straight into your printer. The profile I use for these model is the same I use to print fine Dnd Models.
Hi StaceyAEH,
Very cool and much needed modification.
I don’t have access to a 3D printer, and I am considering to ask for a online price quote.
Any thing I should know about material specifications or is 50% infill PLA at 185’C self-explanatory for a 3D print company?
Best regards
I think that should be enough for a print company. They should be able to go from there in making sure it’s a quality print.
As for idle reverse. I haven’t thought about adding it I’m sure it could be done. Without looking I’m not sure if in game idle and idle reverse are located in different locations to allow for a reverse detent.
But I will look into it
Thank you for reply. I will ask for a price.
Did some research on Google, and it appears that the idle reverse does not have a physically detent, sorry for that.
Link: landing - Do thrust reversers only have idle and full modes or are there intermediate settings? - Aviation Stack Exchange
But I think it is a bit tricky to find minimum reverse idle (-6 degrees point)…
Reverse idle definition:
- Is selected on ground, when the thrust lever is in REV IDLE position.
- Is slightly higher than forward idle thrust.
Just came across this, amazing! Will be giving this a go I think when I get mine.
anyone managed to find a company to print these? not having a 3d printer
Am I correct in thinking v3 is the latest? Is there likely to be a v4. Thanks
Current version is V6, there’s no image but it is on thingiverse for download

How’s this working for you? I’m thinking of getting some printed this week. (No printer myself!)
I think that V6 will be my final version. it’s exactly what I wanted.
Great stuff, sounds very much along the lines of what I was looking for! I’ve got a friend printing me some this week so will feedback how I get on. Thanks!

Anyone got any advice having had these printer commercially. I don’t have any experience of 3D printing? Not sure which file to send and what type of printing I require. Any advice gratefully received
I 3D printed them and they are awesome. Thank you so much.

I was thinking of this myself lately, until I saw your post.
Great work!!
I only have 1 question before I will be printing your v6. Do you have the same sensitivity settings as on the v5 or did you change anything to it?
