Boeing 737 lower Overhead Panel (Latest version) for DIY Simulator

---

Notice: this overhead panel is not 1:1 size with real 737 overhead panel (this is a little smaller) after some testing with 1:1 sizing I noticed that few of the parts ain't gonna fit in standard MakerBot printing bed so everything would need cutting and that makes whole thing ugly!

This is my Boeing 737 simulator project overhead panel and it's latest version. Experimental backlight version is coming later.

Notes and features:

• Huge amount of switch holes.
• Possibility for gauges.
• All panels starting with letter G are intended to be gray color.
• All panels starting with letter W are intended to be white color.
• All G_ADD* panels are additional gray panels mostly for top part of panel before AFT.
• Led boxes are meant to be glued behind panels.

• No labels or backlight availability and unfortunately never coming.
• Use label printer to create text labels.
