I knew your channel some days ago. Incredible work! I am a virtual pilot for 11 years, exclusively A320 and have a huge setup, with many hardwares, some of them, made by myself with arduino, Mobiflight and so on. I'm a software analyst and electronic technicitan as well .;Great jobp by allowing cockpits buiders around the world can develop and build step by step, the assembly of a complete flight deck.- thanks to you once again! you had the good intention of sharing your knowledge for all. Thanks so much Santi.
Hey, it's me again, I have one last question, how big are the korrys? So the 3d printed parts would be very nice on an answer because on the internet you can not find I sat now 3 hours in front of the pc and googled and found nothing 😢
Thank you! First, print a guide pattern (sort of squares/lines) on a thin cardboard paper, taped on top of the UV flatbed. This pattern is exactly the same pattern of the korry designs and layout in the printing Software. The square patterns printed on the flatbed serves as your guides and is where all the squares of acrylics are arranged one by one kinda like placing eggs on the egg tray LOL!. Then run the print again using the actual markings layer (not the square outlines used to draw the patten) This is exactly the same method I use for cockpit panels where I cut, sand/paint, then go back to the engraver and engrave the markings :) Hope that helps.
Hi @@clems2828 , just launched my online store santilui3.com However, I am displeased with how the couriers charged so high shipping costs from my country to anywhere in the world! :(
santi, fantastic job on the korry, i used the stl for the push pull on the FCU and they are working fine thanks, would you please share the stl for the korry`s for the over head panel (the backlighted ones)
Thank you! I'm glad they worked for you. As to the Overhead Korry's, I am still in the process of improving my design as I realized it would be very tedious to do all 72 (or more) of them without PCB! PCB makes the production faster and cleaner. Will definitely share the design once completed. The ones you see in this video are simple, PCB-less construction which works for a few buttons but not for quantity! :) Hope that helps!
Which part do you think is missing? I think the only thing missing part is the laser cutting of the 2mm acrylic sheet into 16x16mm squares (which I am not able to take video as it was outsourced as i dont have laser cutter that time), the rest of the process IMO is clear enough.
@@johnb6014oh you mean the Buttons themselves! Yes I know, I will make a separate video once the design improvement is completed. This video is just for the Korry lenses - an alternative way tp label them for backlighting 😊
Great can't wait to see them. I followed along with a lot of the other videos and saw your other Corey buttons but the dual lit ones are the ones I'm looking for
@@johnb6014hi John, my current OH Korry design works for maybe a few, but realizing that the overhead panel has some 72+ Korry's, using this PCB-less design can be a nightmare 😂 I am in the process of improving this with PCB, and once done I'll share it here 😊
Ive been designing a cockpit layout to build, but the panels and button graphics are the most intimidating to me. Seems impossible without a laser engraver. Not sure what to do.
Hi. If you don't need backlighting in the panels it's much easier to do. I use 5mm Sintra board, with vinyl stickers printed with the cokcpits decals and labels.
Great Job Santi, can you share the file for for the EFIS, FCU and the part with the master caution I want to send it to a UV PRINTING SHOP close by thanks in advance
Hi chris, so sorry for this very late reply as I was tried up to some stuff :) Do you still need them or have you gotten yourself what you need? Let me know and I'll send you as soon as I can. I am offshore at the moment, but would send those when I get home.
Can you elaborate on the process please i dont quite understand the way it is printed is the black printed only to alow the light to come through the letters.
hi @@jpnsimulations I am so sorry i got real busy I totally forgot this correspondence! LOL. Did I understand it correctly that you need the 2D design files of the Korry button faces? Or the STL for the Korry assembly? Sorry for this late reply :) The latter is not available yet as the assembly is not the way I really want them to be. I will share when it gets improved.
Hi adam, the Korry button assembly itself is not the highlight of this video, but one day I will make a separate one just for the Korry themselves! But to give you an idea how the lights work, they are small 3mm LEDs, wired to an Arduino board, which is then connected to the PC and run by a software called MobiFlight which talks to the simulator, in this case FS2020. Hope that helps :) Thanks for watching btw.

Thank you for the kind words Emerson. I will be continually be updating channel as and when I can come up with something useful in future. Cheers!
Once again you out did yourself again sir. Beautiful work love it and the music❤
thanks marvin! :)
That looks beautiful! Very professional quality. Could you share your Kerry switch design?it looks very clean and compact.

Hi Turkish Airline. It's best if you can email me at santiagoluib3@gmail.com and we'll discuss your needs! :)
Didn’t know UV printing was a thing.
Awesome results! I've never seen UV printing before, how did you align the acrylic squares so precisely?

wow, perfect, as usual!! thank you!!!
Amazing. Do you 3D print your panels or do you use acrylic and engrave them?
I use acrylic for my clients but for my own use, just simple Sintra pvc boards with no backlight. 😊
Where do you sell that ?

Nice, what printer is this?
uf-3042 mkii, looks like it retails for like 22k$ usd.... very viable diy options imo :P
@@jessicahunt6569 😂😂😂 I’ll buy 2 just in case

You should do a video on how you built these buttons from the ground up

I mean like a tutorial.
These are very good buttons

thanks mate!
Could these tricks be also used to create custom keycaps?
Hi, sorry for this late reply. Yes definitely :)
I dont suppose you coulld share the file you have for the printer shop? Thankyou for the great videos

@santiagoluib3 yes that would be awesome if you could still send them. Do you want my email?
always perfect my friend , really thx
Thank you!
Can you elaborate on the process please i dont quite understand the way it is printed is the black printed only to alow the light to come through the letters.
The black Print blocks the light. The markings (text) are "skipped" by the print, that means no ink = light goes thru. Hope that helps.
Yes thank you very much for replying. Harry.
Awesome!
amazing plz can you sell some button faces
Yes, let me know which buttons you need and how many. You may email me :)
Santi could you make the print files of these korrys available
Hi, sorry for the delayed reply. Yes will do that soonest possible. I am currently out of the country but will put this on my to-do list :)
ok, I'll be waiting@@santiagoluib3

good morning Santi
it would be the complete STL korry, I look forward to when you do it and release it with the improvements
Any chance you could create and sell those keycap faces after the uv printing has been done.
Yes. Let me know which buttons, how many, and the exact dimensions (if not same as mine 16x16mm). You may email me to discuss our options :)
Thanks for sharing (I’ll gently suggest turning off the music while you’re speaking)
Sorry, yes I get that. I think my recent videos have a more muted music when I speak :)
What kind of acrylic is that? Thickness.
2mm 70% white translucent, cut by laser
how did you do that is´s conected with your sim? I mean lights

@@santiagoluib3thank you so much
can I order a custom button from you? I need a button for my car :)
Is the files on the share drive
Will do soon my friend, along with a video to assemble, because these Korrys are a little more fiddly to do 😂😊
Bro, could you please share the STL file?
Do you have the STL files for these kory buttons that have the two lights?
Hi John, pls. Email me, I'll send it through there 😊
@@santiagoluib3 what's the email?
@@johnb6014 it's Santiagoluib3@gmail.com
I am finalizing a v3 design of the Large Overhead Korry with 2 lights. You might want to prefer to that version instead :)
@@santiagoluib3did you ever come out with the V3
look nice. unfortunately, UV printing at home is not that easily accessible for most. I'm gonna stick to laser for now.
