Thermal panel printer 3 inch 12V model HS-E80 bought from AliExpress
Paper size 80mm x ø50mm

The printer was not equipped with a standard USB connector so I had to install the USB and also a 12V connector myself.

ACARS-printer just fit the pedestal bay

Audio panel equipped with new more realistic volume buttons. You can by them but they are expensive.
I made them myself out of a 12 mm acrylic rod on my small lathe.

Button painted and equipped with an arrow. There are a total of 3x14 buttons so it took a while.
