The GTC 580 is the touch controller used in the SF50 vision jet for the G3000 avionics suite.

All parts in this project were printed at JLCPCB with resin/SLA and specifically the black resin.

This project also contains two files (GTC_580_and_GFC_500_Holder.stl and GFC_500_Placeholder.stl) for an optional desk stand.
