opinions? 3D printable throttle quadrant mechanism Hall Sensor (WIP)

[SAG]

What do you guys think of this? i just started designing it yesterday (gotta love 3d printers!) ?

I want to build myself a throttle quadrant inspired on the La5's or the P51's eventually.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And my faithful companion!

That’s actually really cool. It’s certainly rudimentary, but it works, and I don’t have a problem with that.

There are a lot of throttle quadrants of variable quality available to builders of homebuilt aircraft, which maybe could also be used as a useful starting point.. 

 

Just a thought

Just a small example above, starting from US 50 dollar, should be durable enough for flight sim use

Looks good - since this part will be inside a box their finish look don't matter, but the bearings and contacless sensor - things that you don't see in Saitek's/CH's throttles.

 

May you can add an adjustment for friction in the side opposite to sensor side.

I want to add adjustable friction and % Indents but it's getting king of hard working in such a small space. any ideas on how to do the friction mechanism?
