Minuteman ICBM Launch Control Panel

Description

This Project has just started, more files to come. The goal is to make a look-a-like launch control panel of the Launch Control Officer at a Minuteman II launch control center for use e.g. with model rockets. (There are many photos of the original devices on the internet) Scale and shape of the items will not be 100% identical to the original. The size will be that big that the launch control panel fits the panel size of a 19" rack-device half-wide (9,5"") and 3 units in heigt (5,25"). In the end, the switches should work also electrically. IF YOU KNOW A KEY SWITCH ON THE MARKED THAT CAN BE USED TO ATTACH A POINTER TO IT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! As I haven´t found one yet, I decided to use a wardrobe lock together with a micro switch. But, step one is the first file with a basic design for the pointer of the key switch. As I wrote the shape is not exactly the same as the original, but i hope the "arrow edges" are easier to print that way. UPDATE 1 2020-04-14: Lock installed! I bought a wardrobe/mailbox lock in the bay, brand EURO-LOCKS ( in the US "Lowe&Fletcher inc."), type F423 (not 100% sure). Zylinder Type: F412. Key: FH-series. I have chosen this one because of its short zylinder and the fact that it uses a clamp and not a nut to be fixed to the plate. That gives me some freedom to adjust the lock housing design to my needs. And so I did! See "makes" for a teaser pic. More stl-files are on the way. UPDATE 2, 2021, March 12th: As I am currently not working on this design, I…
