3d Printed Control Yoke

[Avro748]

Just curious if you had a company print it or was it a private individual?

In a way it was both. I went to 3dHubs, which is like Uber for 3d printing. They themselves have no printers, but they source work to hobbyists who own printers. The hobbyists add their printer to 3dHubs and choose what they earn. You upload your STL and it will give you a rough quote from every hub, then you send your STL to the hub itself where the printer owner will look at your file and give you a more precise quote. Since all printers are different, you can talk to the hobbyist directly and they will help you improve your part to suit your needs.

The hardest part is actually modelling the yoke and setting up the model for printing. I'm considering creating a tutorial for it.

I was thinking about getting a 3D printer myself, but the route you went seems like a much better idea. If you do a tutorial I would love to know when you get it done!
