Garmin G1000 NXI replica for MSFS flight sim 2020

I 3d printed a base so I could secure this box to push buttons. But, this screen from Amazon doesn’t need this viewing angle to see the screen good. Some screens on eBay will need the screen tilted to see the screen without the distortion just like a laptop screen where you have to adjust the viewing angle. This Amazon screen doesn’t need that. See this screen on my web site.
my outer case design printed on a large format Sunlu 3d printer
before printing this case. Measure out where your buttons will be on your video board.
You may have to adjust the cutout to line up the 3d printed push button sticks to th mounted video board to control the video settings. I find though that it really isnt used much at all once you have everything hooked up and set. The monitors can just be turned on by plugging them in to the power outlet and not have to push any switch on the video board.

Just wondering how much did all the components cost minus everything you 3d printed?

[@radpaul2574]

In actuality it’s not a real cheap project to take on. But, if you can successfully secede in building it then I think it’s worth the effort. Considering to buy something similar is priced allot higher. Ok here’s what it Wii cost roughly. The LCD panel is pricey at about 109.00 including a 12v transformer. Will need 5 dual rotary encoder switches EC11’s 25.00 two single encoder switches 10.00. Pack of push button switches 100pc need about 32. 18.00 for 100. Will need two Arduino Mega micro controllers about 40.00. A pack of clear or blue 3mm LEDs for back panel lighting about 10.00. One 4 way hat switch for pan and zoom 7.00 each one needed. About 125ft of 24g wire. 15.00. Misc screws 10.00. A pack of 150ohm resistors 7.00. Another 12v transformer 1amp for all the LED lighting 7.00. Minus all the 3d printer cost it’s at least 258.00.

It looks great and the price is significantly cheaper than the ones preassembled. The g1000 also looks like a fun project to learn about arduino and 3d printing

@@Vinz913it is a fun and rewarding box when done. The programming is one of the easiest things but time consuming. What I do is keep the led circuit separate from the arduino circuit and it’s 5volt power supply coming from the computer usb that is also the highway bus for only switching inputs only I build out the led circuit first and test it along the way to make sure I don’t wire them up incorrectly then work on the digital inputs from the switches to Arduino. Arduino is not hard to hook up but to keep track of what PIN number from Arduino to what switch is pin needs to be written down to setup Mobiflight connection
