Found this, had to post it here...
https://authentikit.org/what-is-it/A company making kits for flight controls for PC flight simulators where you buy the 3D printer CAD files that you 3D print, or have printed, and can get the programming for the controls.
The only thing is they don't 3D print it for you, thought there are people that will... and you have to assemble it.
They make, or are in progress of designing authentic controls for P-51's, P-40's, Spit MkIX, and others.
What is AuthentiKit?
AuthentiKit is an award winning system for flight simulation controls. Flight simulation in 2023 (especially VR) lets you step into the cockpit of any aircraft and get tantalisingly close to the feeling of flying for real. AuthentiKit completes the immersion allowing you to interact with the right controls in the right place.
"AuthentiKit’s innovative modular flight control system has raised the bar when it comes to flight simulation hardware."

"It's been an incredible journey turning an empty cockpit into something the public can enjoy, with significant scope for improvement in the future. This would not have been possible without the expert knowledge and equipment supplied by Phil and the hard work and dedication of the engineering team."

The goal for AuthentiKitTM is a truly immersive experience in which the flight stick is exactly where you expect it to be and feels just like the real thing, whether that is a Spitfire MkIX spade grip or a basic DR400 stick. The same for the trim wheel, flap lever and other important controls that demand a tactile response.
AuthentiKit is FREEWARE. All flight controls developed by members of the AuthentiKit community are provided as free downloads of CAD files for 3D printing along with assembly guides and parts lists for easy self assembly. If you don't have a 3D printer there are community members who will print parts for you.
AuthentiKit flight controls are kits and they are only available for self assemble. However they are not DIY projects that require cutting, drilling, soldering etc. They require only a screw driver and a pair of scissors and require similar skills to Lego or Meccano or Airfix.
These are projects for your kitchen table not a workshop.
