Very Impressive. I've 3D printed all kinds of stuff and almost thought you were joking when you said you 3D printed a joint to handle that load. I'm assuming this was done solid and no infill?
This is B738DIY your captain speaking, were crusing at 400 knots at an altitude of 30000ft and if i look over my left shoulder...theres 10 minutes left on the sausages 😊
I'm a lorry mechanic. Why not get an old HGV propshaft from a breakers yard, cut down to length and weld two steel mounting discs on it either side? Something from a DAF CF for example. Simple, readily available and more heavy duty as a base.
AHH your a wise man sir ! I deal with bikes alot and was thinking of using a bunch of steering dampeners to give a bit of push back if that makes sense ..
I was thinking there had to be a better way and this must be it! I'm a 3d printing hobbyist and i dread to think what that must have cost him to print - hundreds!
Having been a part of the Boeing team that built the 737 classic....The Next Gen, and flight tested the 737 Max... i applaud your Build and innovation sir!
@@aleksandarpantic8450 Thier is a lot that goes into flight testing. Many different planes are tested with different test packages. I understand your joke and even agree with it. The "Max" problems were software problems not Aiirframe or Poweplant ones. Software is loaded, and updated from my position as part of the Test team.
Its like putting together a king size bed inside the garage and come to find out can't fit through the bedroom door... But hell, at least he won't go hungry while flying. Just reach back and grab a frying pan and make some pancakes on the stove... One of the best flight simulator I've seen. Great job!!!
Very nice build. Impressive that you have realistic instrumentation, switches and controls. This might be the best private simulator I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing this.
Glad you remembered how all that went back together! Definitely probably going to need some seatbelts as well!! The turbulence is going to be fun!! Congrats! Looks great!!!
Congratulations man ! Love your patience & commitment to achieve your vision, it truly is a remarkable feat of homestyle sim engineering. Bolted seats will make it secure & comfortable. 👍😻🤠
I am a retired commercial pilot with mostly helo time but about 4000 hrs fixed wing, I have flown Citation Jet, Kingair 200, PC12, B55 Baron and Seneca 3. I think your sim is awesome!! I also have a sim but nothing like yours. Unfortunately I had two heart attacks and had to stop real world flying, but I still fire up my Sim and fly the B737-800 in XPlane. I also have MSFS where I have been flying the B787 Dreamliner, but can’t seem to get it to fly properly the autopilot disconnects randomly so I haven’t been able to complete a flight. After disconnect the AC starts oscillations in pitch and I have to escape. Very frustrating. I really appreciate you sharing your Sim with the aviation community. Thanks Again AWESOME!!!!!
I had the same issues 14 years ago, developing a 3dof motion simulator. I have solved it with an arm the is linked to the platform and the base. In the arm there were 2 rotation joints aligned with the universal joint of the base
I've not done anything like this - but similar effect to a panhard rod on car rear suspension may work? i.e. long enough that the rotation about a point is negligible - but stops rotation around the vertical axis.
@@richardlincoln886 Came to the comments section looking for this. My thoughts are along the same lines. A diagonal bar running across the back of the platform mounted at one end to the platform itself and at the other end to the base. This is the exact same principle as a panhard bar and will eliminate any twist whilst still allowing full pitch and roll freedom of movement.
I'm in the process of making a panhard rod, thank you for the suggestion. I have modelled the motion using a panhard rod, and it will introduce less than +- 1 degree og rotation around the vertical axis which is a significant improvement over the current situation.
@@B738DIY Cool If you wanted to get really complex, a glance at steam engine design might be fun. 'Parallel motion' does exactly that & potentially gets you to zero rotation depending on the backlash in the joints. (IMO Stick with Panhard at least initially :) )
You are way too skilled and talented to be doing this for a hobby. What do you do professionally? Whatever it is you must be an asset to the world. Very impressive
that so awesome. Extras to add now are Proper pilot seats remodel the kitchen behind you to have the gally trolleys and kitchen in it. make the back side look little nicer find a bigger house haha
This ia one fantastic project and very well done! Regarding motion there isn't much a feeling of motion in an airliner. It is supposed to be flown gently so the only disturbance you may feel sometimes is turbulence. At the take off you'll feel the acceleration for a few seconds and a slight feeling of the braking after touch down, but that's it! You're never aware of being in a turn except when looking out of the window since it's flown coordinated with not much banking.
Awesome project! But why did you go with a 3D printed universal joint when most of the parts of the frame were metal? A simple barring holder could have been fab'ed at the same or cheaper and stiffer than the 3d part.
Amazing video once again! I know how much extra effort it is to film all the progress when you just want to build stuff and not worry about getting it on camera. Mad respect for you and keep the videos coming! On another note, do you have a system that adjusts the lights in the cockpit to match the outside world?
Thank you, documenting ads another layer to an otherwise challenging build. I do have a Philips Hue setup to adjust the interior lighting to the outside contions. It was not enabled in this video, but it is up and running now. I might do a video on that in the future. By the way, I found you pedal building videos very interesting. I need to start on my own pedals soon
@@B738DIY Yeah totally! I would love a more in depth video about the Philips Hue setup you have going on. Good luck with your rudder pedal build. I'm sure they are going to come out great too!
Okay ,, I am only 4 min.,, into this video,, and already,, the 3D printing and electronics works is , Amazing,,,, and all done wearing slippers,, LUV it ,,
You should get a bright light that is dimmable and is on a circular track around the ceiling and find a way to get it to follow the in game sun, that would be really cool. The glare and shadows inside during day. Maybe an rgb light so you can make it warmer as the sun sets. You would have to somehow shield the monitors from the light but if you could do it would be amazing.
At 10:42 when you lifted off ..my heart skipped a beat...that has to be the greatest feeling in the world !! I am impressed!..Whats next a Space Shuttle sim?/? LOL...1.
Wow..... guessing whether it does also a good Italian coffee! 😉 Apart from joking, that's amazing: just flew on my XP-12, had a nice time simming, but here we're on a different level! Very good job 👍🏻
At any point do you ever think to yourself, I think i may have went too far? You build the cockpit of an aircraft in your house man lol. I love it though. Great job man!
Hello !! Or will stop the passion of a person ??? However, there is something very important missing for your simulator, these are the seats. Kitchen chairs in a simulator at this level is almost an insult to your creativity. Bravo! I love it!!
This is impressive. I wish I had the time and the nerd skills to do something like this. I can't even get my daughter to hand me the remote control for crying out loud.
Mama Mia 😲 This looks realistic… It can’t simulate the vertical force in a bump, right? That would probably be very complicated to make… But a GREAT result you have already 👍
I'm guessing (and hoping) this guy has a fully working kitchen upstairs😂 Its rather common in Norway to have a small apartment in the basement to rent out.. or just build a giant airplane cockpit in😅 Nice work!😊
I have fixed the flexible u-joint using a panhard rod: ua-cam.com/video/VUUmvjnVUPE/v-deo.html
Knock! Knock! Knock! This is the Boeing Company. We want to order 1,000 simulators to replace those expensive ones we had and save a lot of money. 🤣
I laughed when you showed a plastic u joint with all the torsional load 😂
Very Impressive. I've 3D printed all kinds of stuff and almost thought you were joking when you said you 3D printed a joint to handle that load. I'm assuming this was done solid and no infill?
The only motion sim I’ve ever seen where there is a potential for catering. 👌🏻
Pizza oven right behind the cockpit, nice!
You could 3D printing the universal joint in alumimium alloy . It is much more rigid
At this point of customization, I would go a step further and engaged some girls to play stewardess while they wear bunny suits. (don't judge me)
This is B738DIY your captain speaking, were crusing at 400 knots at an altitude of 30000ft and if i look over my left shoulder...theres 10 minutes left on the sausages 😊
Cant fly at 400knts man
Real
A typical commercial passenger jet flies at a speed of about 400 - 500 knots
@@bryansweeney1633 at ground speed yes but at crz fl it’s around 200-350
LOL!!!!
Who needs a kitchen when there's a 737 to fly!
Who needs a license when there’s a flight simulator setup?
prepare your food in the galley 😂
@@TheRobloxGuy177Some people, myself included, are unable to obtain a medical. Not all disabilities are visible.
Looks like it's a kitchen in the basement..
That is what you have your flight attendant for. They will bring him food.
Probably the best DIY sim out there. You have amazing fabrication skills.
Thank you! 😊
Incredible job!
And thank you again for this. I showed my wife your sim and she said “ok, well I guess you aren’t the craziest person in the world”.
Your welcome, my wife does probably agree with yours :)
That’s ok. Your sim is glorious.
Don't forget too wine and dine your wife or she'll think all you think of is the simulator haha!😅😅 Mine would!
Nice rig anyway!

Yes. I hate people 3d printing shit that can be bought for $20 at the wreckers
I think for this aplication any car ujoint would do.

“Honey why is there a cockpit in our kitchen?!”
Because you were gone for 4 months, I thought you left for good
Boeing pay attention, when you build a 737, you start with the galley. What an awesome job 🙏🏻🛫👍🏻
And nothing falls off during a flight. That's a win.
You have a lot of fabrications skills, time and money to pull that project off. Very Cool!
First person to successfully recreate the inflight meal experience in a sim bravo👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you, I'm glad I remembered as well. I'm working on seats with seatbelts. There will be a seat build video in the not too distant future.
I need a friend like this in my life
Holy smokes! I don't think I've ever seen such an ambitious DIY project!

Love the setup! BEAUTIFUL!
The level of detail is insane. Like the oven at the back for heating passengers' meal :)
This is the far most realistic simulation i have ever on youtube.. Hats off!
it took me 2 seconds to realize this guy is norwegian
our english accent is so noticable
lol imagine a burglar breaking in to see that 😂
Crazy though, really good work
Getaway driver was told to wait on runway 2.
Great project! Altough i personally would have made the joint out of milled aluminum instead of PEGT to reduce wear and make it last longer
I can not afford aviation school fee but I can afford this simulator it’s really amazing
You are way too skilled and talented to be doing this for a hobby. What do you do professionally? Whatever it is you must be an asset to the world. Very impressive
DIY 737 looks spot on to the real thing, from the outside.
Exzellente Arbeit, solche Perfektion einen eigenen Flugsimulator zu bauen, habe ich bisher noch nicht gesehen, einfach Super.
Vielen dank!
that so awesome. Extras to add now are
Proper pilot seats
remodel the kitchen behind you to have the gally trolleys and kitchen in it.
make the back side look little nicer
find a bigger house haha

I’m glad someone knows what he’s doing. This guy is a genius
Fantastic! Congratulations for your effort and dedication. No comments man! It is clear that aviation is in its DNA.
My god!!! That is unbelievable... Just wow. I love so many things about this. The fact you built it in your kitchen is just epic.
If there is will, there's a kitchen 🎯
The kitchen got upgraded to a galley :) Thanks for checking out my build!
Well done and you did all the assembly by yourself that’s amazing including the option for a cafe at 35.000 ft great job
got to luv the chair :) Nice build!
Thanks! 😁

Brilliant work!!! 🤩
I'd fly over right now and try that if I could! That's sick man!!
10:04 very nice! I like your choice of chairs! I thought you were going to go flying back at one point lol.
Excellent build sir !!! I love it ! Thank you for posting it!
Fantastic build, amazing engineering and great to see the motion platform in action 🫡
Thank you very much!
this is absolutely crazy! can't believe you did it your self
I have so much respect for people like you!
Amazing project! I build my own homecockpit without motion but you motivate me to consider again this point WaoW Amazing!!
I was waiting for the chairs to go flying :P Amazing job!
And next week he will show you the Airbus 380 in his bedroom. At least with the 737 the galley is close.
Just incredible what you have created! Congratulation to this project, Happy Flying. :)

awesome!! chairs look funny.
FAA approved flight chairs from IKEA
They are supprisingly comfy
Wow! You're man of all trades fulfilling it is a great achievement👍
I couldn’t even build the wooden platform lol. Truly amazing job
Better build quality than a standard 737, no parts falling off!
my man over here living in 3024 while the rest of us are living in 2024....hes got his in-flight meal while he plays!
In-flight meals are within reach of the cockpit :D SUBSCRIBED!
Wow..... guessing whether it does also a good Italian coffee! 😉
Apart from joking, that's amazing: just flew on my XP-12, had a nice time simming, but here we're on a different level!
Very good job 👍🏻
Many thanks for doing this, I will be Dreaming about this Tonight! Super!!
At first I thought if I had one of these it would never leave in my house but now that I know that kitchen is included I will definitely never leave
YOU HAVE TO OFFICIALLY RELEASE THIS!! 🗣🗣💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
At any point do you ever think to yourself, I think i may have went too far? You build the cockpit of an aircraft in your house man lol. I love it though. Great job man!
When you starts assembling the thing, I go “Isn’t it cheaper to get and actual pilot license, and buy a real airplane?”
The fact that the rig tilts backwards when you go toga is brilliant
Man that's cool 😎 so worth it keep up the good work!
Congratulations on your sim. Very impressive.
Ive seen some setups but yours is amazing thanks for sharing this with us :)
The kitchen chairs really add to the Boeing realism.

That’s awesome- well done , I’m so jealous- you’ve done a fantastic job mate
you could stabilize the platform even more by adding shock absorbers at an angle from the platform to the frame to dampen side to side motion
I'm in the motion of adding a panhard rod which limit the rotation
I like the man with Poker face (non emotional) build little plane in own home, step by step :) It's Great
... and very nice camera positions
Fly Safe

Takk 😉
Flying a 737 with the wafting aroma of fresh baked cookies. Living the good life.
Already expecting lot of work and money.
Well done!

Probably be cheaper and less hassle to buy an actual 737, learn to fly it and keep it in the garage 😉
Great job fella , amazing 🤩
