Levers for engine coolers like water, oil etc in WWII standard (Saitek)

[YoYo]

Here is my Saitek/Logitech Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant Throttle mod for TH Warthog (and VR flying) as example. 

Few pictures.

 

1/ Knobs (3D printing):

 

 

 

2/ The new basis with new angle (horizontal, not vertical)

 

 

 

3/ Removal of slack in levers (rubber band = greater resistance)

 

 

 

4/ Knobs assembly

 

 

 

5/ Final result with Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle column:

Dude this is awesome! Any chance to make some for the CH Throttle Quad?

How do the electronics of this hook up?

[Sokol1]

Electronics was not changed, is the same of Saitek Throttle  Quadrant: potentiometers (so, so) and USB controller.

Only the top of levers was changed.

S! 

 

So version 2.0 with upgrade from pots to Hall sensor?

Yes, this is still Saitek, I improved force inside only (of levers).

Salut!

 

Awesome job!

 

Did you design the knobs yourself? I've decided to expand my rig with some diy toggles and handles with Arduino behind it. I also want to 3d print new knobs for both the Saitek throttle handles and the ones that i'm planning to build myself.

I'm a novice in designing things for the printer and I like the look of yours so I would really like to use the ones you have.

If you ever make any for the CH throttle Quad I'll buy some.

Knobs are hard to 3D print on a desktop printer..
