SketchUp or CAD Designer Needed to Improve a DIY Flight Simulator Cockpit Design

Posted 13 hours ago

Worldwide

Summary

I am working on a personal DIY flight-simulator cockpit for home use and have already created the basic design and a working prototype. I am looking for someone with good practical experience in SketchUp, Fusion 360 or similar 3D design software to help me improve the design and prepare accurate files that I can use with a local carpenter, CNC workshop or 3D-printing service. The general shape, measurements and equipment positions are already available. I mainly need help to: clean up and improve my existing design; create a suitable curved top/glare-shield section; improve the left and right supports while keeping them visually discreet; work out simple ways for the parts to connect and be removed; suggest practical materials and construction methods; prepare accurate drawings and files for fabrication. The design should remain lightweight, simple and reasonably affordable to build. I am open to plywood, MDF, plastic, 3D-printed parts, aluminium or a combination of materials, depending on what is most practical. I am not looking for an unnecessarily complicated engineering study. I need a designer who can understand my existing idea, discuss practical improvements with me and turn it into a clean and buildable model. Deliverables An improved editable 3D model in SketchUp, Fusion 360 or the designer’s preferred software. STEP files where applicable. Basic dimensioned drawings for fabrication. DXF files for any flat CNC-cut parts. STL files for any 3D-printed parts. A simple exploded view showing how the main pieces fit together. A basic materials and fittings list. I will provide photographs, measurements, sketches and my current SketchUp model to the selected freelancer. When applying, please share examples of similar practical design work, tell me which software you use and provide your estimated fixed price and completion time.
