Title: B737 Circuit Breakers Measurements
Post by: julianknaf on March 29, 2017, 08:11:14 AM
Hello everyone!
I am currently trying to design the circuit breakers in a 3D-model but I really didn't find any useable measuerents online yet, so I thought why don't I ask you guys, there might be someone here who has some originals and could help me out!
So I would need the measuerements of just the part of the "knobs" you can see on the panel, that would be amazing if somebody could give them to me!
My original intention in designing the breakers is that I want to 3D-print them, it's cheap and easy.

Thank you very much for your help
Julian

Hi Julian

I have some CB's at home and can measure them for you.  I expect they are all a standard size regardless of the aircraft type.  I will see what I can measure tonight, and maybe someone can confirm if they are standard sizes or not.

thanks,

Trev

I am such a believer in not re-inventing the wheel.

I am not involved with Ruscool in any way nor do I profit from pointing people to their site.

Not really the standard type

I agree with Jim though and I suppose you know that you will need about 450 of them for the 737 !!
