I was annoyed by the fact that i couldn't find a free HOTAS mount that actually works standalone. So now here they are.

Hey All, I've drawn up a project to mount both throttle and stick since I was to cheap too pay for professional mounts (after spending to much anyway on the throttle and stick).  Both mounts cost me under 30€ assembled.

per mount you need:

Filament (ASA in my case):

  • 560g for the throttle mount

  • 490g for the stick 

Hardware:

  • 24 m5 heatsink inserts

  • 20 m5x12

  • 4 m5x30

The mount is purposefully overbuilt, since the STECS weighs 2.6kg. If there is demand to have the mount without heatsink inserts to just screw into plastic, let me know. 

As for print settings with ASA:

  • 30% infill

  • 10mm brim

  • 5 walls

  • 5 bottom & top layers

Each assembly needs 

  • arm 

  • arm mirrored

  • top clamp (without clamping screws)

  • bottom clamp (with clamping screws)

  • 2 mount frames

  • stiffening x

It is possible to use the throttle arms for the stick. This was done to get a somewhat flexible height drop. 120mm for the stick and 90mm for the throttle.

To assemble the project the cylinder head screws all have a sunk hole for their heads to go into so the screw direction should be obvious. 

The mount was developed for a 25mm thick tabletop. If any other heights are needed let me know and i might do a height adjustable revision.  

The throttle mount also works for the Thrustmaster Warthog throttle according to VKB

Update I mixed up some dimensions of the Throttle so i had to redesign its mount if you have downloaded the old version please make sure it fits your STECS before printing

Have fun printing and flying
