Ikea Markus chair Thrustmaster T-flight HOTAS

This support is compatible with all three HOTAS Thrustmaster T-Flight models (4, One, and X) and allows them to be attached to the Ikea Markus chair

For assembly, it will be necessary to drill two holes on each armrest of the chair using a drill To facilitate the drilling operation, I have created a guide This guide corresponds to a section of the outer guide, so make sure to orient it correctly before proceeding

A useful tip is to fully assemble the support and place it on the chair before marking the drilling points Draw a line with a pencil on the armrest to indicate the height at which to attach the guide, ensuring that the support surface for both parts of the HOTAS is perfectly horizontal Roughly, the support should be fixed so that the HOTAS's resting surface remains aligned with the initial part of the padding, as shown in the photograph

For attachment to the chair, four M5 x 25mm bolt screws and four M5 self-locking nuts will be needed (the screws must have a round head, not hexagonal)

I have made the HOTAS bases in two versions: one requires M3 brass inserts with an outer diameter of 4.5 mm and a depth of 5.7 mm, the other uses M3 nuts that will need to be glued into the appropriate recesses Choose the version you prefer based on your preferences and availability

Finally, the outer guides and bases will need to be secured using two M3 x 8mm screws

The materials you will need are therefore:

• 4 M5 x 25mm bolt screws (no hexagonal head)
• 4 M5 self-locking nuts
• 8 M3 x 8mm screws
• 8 M3 brass inserts or 8 M3 nuts

My personal recommendation is to print it in PETG, but PLA is also fine

I created the profiles for a 0.4 nozzle and 0.2 layer height, but it also prints well with a 0.6 nozzle and 0.3 mm height by reducing the wall count by 1

The pins on the bases will fit into the screw holes of the HOTAS If any don't fit, you can remove them by prying with pliers, as not all are necessary to keep the HOTAS from moving
