Beautiful setup!

I would like to share about my experience with ordering an aluminum panel through Xometry. They have charged me around 300$ inculding a delivery fee from Mexico.

So, I just uploaded my STEP file of the panel, clicked the button Order and in 3 weeks later I received a panel. It was very easy. I really like the quality of their laser cutting and tolerance. All the holes on the panel have been designed with the tolerance +0.2 mm to the actual diameter of the switches, LEDs (every single item was measured with a caliper during engineering process... Don't TRUST the drawings provided by manufactures!!! ) And the actual diameters on the panel I received are exactly +0.3 mm

Tim,
Nice work! Any chance you are willing to share your STEP file? Would make a great starting point for those of us looking to do a G3X. It looks like you've already gone through the trouble of sourcing the individual models, etc

I'm waffling between an Aerosport panel or a traditional panel. Would be fun to experiment and move things around.

Thanks,
David

It's not the end. I haven't even started a bottom console, where I am going to place all other switches, engine controls.... etc.


It's just the base aluminum panel. And I am also going to attach a fiber carbon overlay panel. The reason I personally don't like Aerosport's panel - they look like old Toyota's dashboard and it's not possible to fit as many instruments.

I would love to share everything I have, but I don't know how to share a 150 mB file here.... The project has been made in Autodesk Inventor 2023, so I can make a ZIP archive or export it into single STEP file

Let me try the Google drive...

Let me know if it doesn't work

Thanks Tim! A STEP file is a fairly common format that can be imported into a number of CAD programs. Question is whether or not it will maintain object groupings etc.

Google Drive works great if you get the share settings right.

There are backplates and a template to drill holes

Heck.... It's Garmin.

Where does the Fishfinder go

More parts just arrived. This time made in China.

We are doing a basic panel - HDX, knobs, Garmin175, PDA360, G5 and iPad.

So, who has split their panel for access on a std fit ?

Where and how do you do the sub structure ?

Only rack items are the audio and Garmin.

Was thinking of a 1.5" wide .063" spreader that can accept nutplates.

Left, Middle and Right pics after 200 Hrs. Just removed a label for the E-Mags and milled a nice plate for the mag switches.
