SkepticalJohn Posted December 8, 2021 Report Posted December 8, 2021 I just finished some "owner produced parts" for my 252/305 Rocket (designed on solidworks and printed on an Ender7 3D printer). I thought I'd check to see if there was any interest before I move on to my next project. These are obviously not PMA. You'd need your mechanic to sign them off as owner produced parts. Please PM me if you're interested... 5 Quote
SkepticalJohn Posted December 8, 2021 Author Report Posted December 8, 2021 Oh, I also made mounts for yoke switches and blanks to cover the hole in the top of the yoke, for the right yoke that doesn't have switches mounted to the top. 3 Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted December 8, 2021 Report Posted December 8, 2021 I think the most grizzled FAA inspector would look at those parts and say “that’s neat”. I believe those fall under the interior furnishings category. You have a lot of latitude. 1 1 Quote
SMITR Posted December 10, 2021 Report Posted December 10, 2021 Noted the parts you produced. They look fantastic. My trim wheel cover is cracked and damaged. I’d love to have one like you printed. Ed Becker Mooney 231k 1980 Quote
SkepticalJohn Posted December 10, 2021 Author Report Posted December 10, 2021 Ed, please send me a PM and we'll get one headed your way. I've had several folks asking about price. I'm not looking to get rich off of these or run some sort of side-business. The model I'm looking at: I'll send you the piece, you verify it fits, and send whatever it was worth to you (hopefully covering my time and expenses). If it doesn't fit or you don't like the piece for whatever reason, send it back and no money exchanged hands. Kind of an honor system designed to help fellow Mooney folks. For those interested in different aesthetics, I created another version that doesn't have the regular horizontal lines. This textured is available for all of the aforementioned pieces. If you want one, please just me know what part and if you'd like regular smooth 3d print (ie: horizontal lines, left object in picture) or textured print (right object in the picture). 1 Quote
mladen Posted July 16, 2022 Report Posted July 16, 2022 The trim chain cover on my M20K is broken and beyond repair. The pictures of your "printed" replacement look great, better than the original. Are you still willing to print covers. As another easier option, if you are willing to share the file I can print it at the local maker space. Let me know how much you want for your ingenuity and trouble. Mike Quote

Eastern mooney 201 Posted February 28, 2023 Report Posted February 28, 2023 Hello. I can order the emergency plastic with Plane plastic but they do not have the trim one. Tks Quote
PT20J Posted February 28, 2023 Report Posted February 28, 2023 Have you tried Mooney? -- they used that trim cover on a lot of models and may still have it. Quote
Eastern mooney 201 Posted March 1, 2023 Report Posted March 1, 2023 No did not try with them. I will try to send an e-mail to Lasar. Quote
