Starting my build

[SC-Maik]

Jeruw gave me a great idea for my throttle...

So I've added a riser to mount my custom board





I am gonna change connections to dupont



open a hole below board for wires to go through and 3D print an extra flat base to hide Pro Micro and usb cable.

This Friday threaded inserts should be here so I should have a functional throttle by the end of this weekend.

Next week I will receive some black cable sleeve for final aesthetic touches.

Hole for wires drilled out (3/8")



Handle orientation 2 o clock.

3 days left...

I like how people are holding the handle different ways. I don't know if that means it is a good design or a bad design. I am liking the look though, print quality is good and I like the color.

[SC-Maik]

It means that is a flexible design
I like the way it turns out. Thank you once more for sharing your project with the community.

3D model of extra base plate

[Jetlinx]

Your plan for cable management looks great, and having that base plate with the space for your board looks like it will really create a nice clean design as well as giving you a little bit more stable of a platform.

I have an obsession with cable management and I would like to give my personal touch to the whole project

And some renderings

Holes for wiring

That's looking fantastic. I like the shape you've designed. If I hadn't drawn my own hexagon for my base I'd try to carve one out of walnut for my delta. I could probably achieve a similar effect with a router I suppose. Gives me some ideas for sure. I like that you integrated a mounting point for the board too, very nice. How much vertical room did you leave yourself? I didn't want to offset the delta too far from the table, so my interior pocket has about 10mm of clearance. I'll need 90 degree headers to do the wire hookups. I was just going to hot-glue or double stick tape the board down (depending on whether hot glue could damage things).

I am glad that you like it. You gave me the idea after all.
I got exactly 10mm of clearance but the plan atm is to solder wires directly to pro micro and add female headers on the other end.

Here is a pic of custom board installed. One side for buttons and one side for pots.



I will probably install board upside down so male headers that connect to pro micro will look downwards.
