Hello, I completed the whole assembly of the (with HUD, glare shields and so on). I bolted the whole thing to a wooden platform, but the assembly is very wobbly. When touching it, it rocks back to front and left to right just by a tiny bit and stops after a while in an elastic manner. I don't know if I explained myself, I just wanted to know if you have any suggestion to make it more stable (other than anchor the upper part somewhere to avoid the wobblying). Thanks!
Just to be clear: I bolted the lower part to a wooden platform.
Hey Ottopus,
the center pedestal is intended to connect the left and right instrument s to the left and right auxillary consoles. This creates a solid anchor point that stabilizes the entire center pedestal structure.
By the way, my center pedestal is already very stable, even though I’ve only anchored it, like you did, to a wooden platform with screws. The instrument s are not yet connected to the aux consoles either. Still, I can easily operate all switches and buttons without feeling like the structure is wobbly or fragile.
I printed all parts of the including HUD and s with 25% infill (crossed grid) and 4 wall lines using PLA. For the three mounting holes on each side of the instrument s (left and right), I used M4 screws.
Thanks for the reply. The printing settings are the same settings I used. I'll post a video later showing the wobblying.
I saw on youtube that you made an "electronics bay" at the base of the pedestal, maybe that's giving the extra stability.
So the solution is to find a way to anchor the whole to the consoles if I understood correctly. I did a custom wooden structure for consoles and the rest, so this part is on me :-)
The electronics bay is just sitting loosely in there without any fastening for easy removal, as I'm still working on it.
I feel like the entire center console is very robust. If I press on the edges of the left and right instrument s, I can push it in a bit, but that's not surprising given the leverage I have at that point. Even a constructed of sheet metal would give way there without anchoring. For me, it's perfectly stable. And the give way stops once the s are attached to the aux consoles. In the end, it's made of plastic, not metal.
Obviously you have to add a touching the back of the center console to counter the force when you touch things. Even invictus cockpits have it like this with their center console out of wood.
Yep, that's why I designed this for the VR Pits cockpit plans: https://ibb.co/xtKvDpwK
