Why pay for these?
Because the hard part is already done. Each file started as an original part that was scanned, cleaned up, and reverse engineered into drawings or models that are essentially ready to make. Build the part yourself, or hand the files to a machine shop or a 3D printing service and skip the weeks of measuring and modeling.
Every purchase also pays for the scanner, the software, and the time behind each file, and for the videos on the YouTube channel that show how the work gets done. Buying a file helps keep the next part from disappearing.
- Already reverse engineered from a real part
- Ready for you to make, or to hand to a machine shop or 3D printing service
- Funds new equipment and new content for the community
What you're buying.
Digital files
Drawings arrive as PDF, models as STL. They're licensed for your own projects and your own airplanes, not for resale. Any intellectual property in the original part remains with the parts manufacturer; what you're paying for is the scanning and drafting work. STLs may still need cleanup in your CAD software before fabrication.
Making the part
Cut files assume you or your shop will do the fabrication. Match-drill mounting holes to the part you removed, and expect some trimming or sanding. If you have no local shop, an online CNC or 3D printing service will work from these files.
Installing on an airplane
Nothing here is PMA or otherwise approved for installation. Whether a part can go on a certificated aircraft is a decision for your A&P or IA under the FAA's owner-produced parts rules. Book an hour if you want to talk it through.
Need a drawing we haven't listed?
If a part is in the repository, a drawing is usually a short job away. Tell us which one and we'll quote it, or book an hour and we'll draw it together.
