hey sly,
Currently machining the knurled metal knobs.
They are quite labor intensive.
In case you are unable to find the original knobs I have attached a copy of the machinist drawing for mine.
You can take the drawing to your local machine shop or send it to one of the online custom knob makers.
Given their labor intensive requirements I would expect them to charge you between 25 to 50.oo for machining each knob. vertigo

THEMAN (12/5/2018)
won't be too hard to build your turret control wired instead of IR, and map the flight stick functions through a raspberry pi... just a simple example of how small a form factor we can make it.

The PIC18F4520 micro-controller is the brain of this project, which interprets the received IR signals from the TV remote and control the motion and the firing mechanism inside the gun. It is able to rotate upto 180° or more left and right, and the barrel can go up to 45°

THEMAN,

Very interesting find! I did notice that there could be some line of sight connectivity concerns using IR depending on location of sensors. Have you looked into bluetooth connectivity? I’m going bluetooth so I can also control functions from outside the car without LOS issues.

Oh I wasn't suggesting IR at all... I was thinking it would be wired in place of the IR. A BT option is totally doable as well. Whatever gets the movement commands from the joystick to the axis motors.

Anybody have a good High resolution picture of that Clutch slider used for the steering wheel hub? I want to try and make a CAD file for it.

OK, Finally got something done. Delayed a bit because of problems with the CNC Router and Holidays etc.

Finished milling the Front Drivers Side Box. First I had to divide it into several sections to try and mill the angles right. There are a lot of compound angles on this thing. Here are the nine different sections as I got them milled.

Here's a picture of the assembly process. Used glue, screws, and spray foam to fasten this together.

The nature of the 3 axis mill only lets it mill directly down on what it can see, it can't cut under. So, even dividing the thing up there were still some places that had anomalies because of the compound curves.

Batmobile

Here it is completed and the anomalies roughed out. It is not production ready yet but I will probably put it aside until spring and make the other three boxes now, then see where I'm at.

hey sly,
Very impressive. How many man hours to achieve the production output depicted?

It's difficult to say, but a rough estimate is an average of 20 to 30 minutes of milling per slice. Smaller slices take as little as 10 min while larger ones can take up to 90 minutes. Right around 55 slices in this box.

Then there's the computer time. Scaling, dividing the model, slicing the sections, creating the G code for the mill.

Assembly includes gluing the slices together. The time there is mostly waiting for the glue to dry. Then there's section assembly, which goes pretty quickly. That's the fun part, seeing it all come together.

This piece took two full weeks to produce. The next one should be a little quicker because I know how to do it now.

btw...………….

I looked back at my plywood mock up of this and it's not bad really. Not nearly the detail but a pretty good representation really.

Wow!!

Great work! What has been your strategy for slicing the model?
