This is an F-14 RIO HCU model replica. The model includes all electronic parts and micro-stick with potentiometers needed for 3d-printing and assembling a fully functional F-14 RIO HUC that operates with flight simulations.
For illuminated buttons - use white material for printing, paint in black and then gently sand the text (illuminated micro-switch modeled).
All electronic parts are standard parts, as can be seen in the pictures.

Printing Recommendations:
- For a metal feel of the grip - Use Aluminum infused PLA.
- Printing in normal setup:
- Layer Height: 0.12-0.22mm
- Printing Speed (for all parts): 50 mm/sec
- Temperature according to the printing material.
- For the buttons and box cover:
- Layer Height: low - 0.12-0.15mm
- Printing Speed: 30 mm/sec
- Color Recommendation: White color printing, with black painting and gentle sanding of the writing.
- All settings are relevant to Flashforge Creator Pro printer and may differ from one 3d printer to another.
