F/A-18C Hornet MFD and UFC by MysticAviator

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is my design and contribution to the DIY flight simulator community. The part files include the following:
The 3 parts required to assemble the UFC (room for 21 keycap buttons, 6 automotive buttons, and 3 potentiometers)
A one-piece MFD frame that houses 20 keycaps
A tapered style keycap (used for the UFC on mine)
A flat top style keycap (used for the MFDs on mine)
a .dwg template for the full panel
In addition to the above files, there are also two files for the potentiometer mount (Pot Mount.stl) and the rocker switch mount (Rocker Mount.stl), which go on the bottom of the panel. You can mix and match where those go as they have the same outer dimensions.
Here's the hardware I used to make this:
6mm momentary buttons (3 packs for 60 buttons) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WF76VHT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
