Budgetcap F1 simulator

Racing sim made from a used Ikea Kritter junior bed. I basically used about 90% of the bed, some scrap material I had laying around, and I spent about 25€ on paint. Oh, and the cushion for the seat I also had but would cost around 30€.
In my case, it goes with the Logitec G29 wheel and a PS4. Works for me, great fun.

[@jasonlanglois7906]

Really well done. I made my son a rig for Christmas this year out of some AAA maple in a style similar to the Playseat F1. I really struggled to find something that wouldn't look just "thrown together" like most DIY's. Had I seen this prior, I probably would have gone in this direction. It's easy to say why not just go buy a rig instead. I've got one, an expensive one....but when your son asks to build one for him, you do as he asks.

"RedBull? Nah, we got ScarletSheep"

[@williamsaloka9043]

I made a rig something like this about 15 years ago. It was completely enclosed, with the top canopy on hinges. It had the Monitor installed on a shelf above your knees and the top/canopy came down over you when you got in. You were completely enclosed. I put a "kicker" behind the seat. Worked out really well. My family called it "The Black box of Death"... Working on another. Enjoy!! Nice work!!

[@madebydekker7038]

thanks, i considered that idea for the steering wheel but decided to keep it simple to start with

Je hebt een mooie rig gemaakt. ik ben naar de sloop gegaan en heb er een stoel van een Smart inclusief rails gekocht voor 7 tientjes. In mijn rig dan zo opgesteld alsof je in de auto zit, dus niet half liggend. Een "officiele" stoel is duur en zit niet lekker. Een autostoel is gemaakt om er lange tijd goed in te kunnen zitten. (En dat doe ik dan ook :) ) Veel plezier met je mooie rig!

Right now I'm starting to build something similar. It is interesting that I finished a primitive drawing of the structure, and it is very similar to yours), but I have a small problem - dimensions, lengths, angles... Since I did not find any similar schemes on the Internet, I will have to build everything by eye. And I think your video will help me. Thanks for sharing it!

[@madebydekker7038]

you’re welcome! i was looking for measurements as well but didn’t find anything useful neither. in the end it’s better to tailor make it, to size, the way you like it. trial and error.

Definitely gonna save this idea for myself, altho i dont have the bed. But between buying wood and buying something that just needs some cuts, i rather go for the simplistic version. However i also have the shifter and a set of HOTAS (throtle and joystick set, for space/flight sims), and still trying to figure out a way to make some "attachments" that can be moveable to place the HOTAS, and also a moveable shelf to go in front on my lap for keyboard and mouse for other games or just browsing stuff. All this because i only have 1 pc, meaning that if i go forward with a "simpit", i have to make it in a way to fully replace my desk.

[@madebydekker7038]

[@ranzwocket3119]

A better way to mount the pedals would be to remove the from the plastic case and inverted mount them (so they hinge above the pedal instead of below - more like a real car). Much better feel that way and you can adjust the space between them.
