nice work and very simple design good for anyone who is looking to improve his wheel without breaking it or damaging it

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

Thank you!!

[@rogerpratchet]

Hello! Nice improvement that helps to feel steering wheel more realistic and also makes playing more comfortable for ppl with big hands. I think that change of ballbearings to bb bullets will improve the design, printable spring will also help to those who could not find metal one.

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

That could be a good alternative!

Do you intend to launch a version for 70mm pcd steering wheels?

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

I’m not planning to revisit this mechanism but the cad files could be modified to fit a 70mm pcd wheel.

[@ABG_3D]

This is a fantastic idea and very well executed for the G29, G920 and G923, only if you are using the stock wheel, a very light car wheel or a very light printed wheel. It is not strong enough for an after market wheel unfortunately, or I am too rough of a driver 🤷‍♂ I printed it in PLA, PLA+, ABS, ABS+, ASA and even PETG, even tried a combination of different materials and they all break off against the wheel with the splined cup, the shaft holds up pretty decently in PLA+. I printed it with 50%, 70%, 80%, 100% and even changed my extrusion multiplier to make my lines a bit thicker on the infill. Some broke the moment I put my wheel on, others held up ok, but snapped off when I tried to counter steer. Its an odd feeling when you are mid drift and need to throw the wheel and end up almost throwing the wheel out the door, lmao. I have to add that I do not have the stock wheel though, I'm running a large deep dish Nadri replica wheel with a 3D printed hub adaptor and it is quite heavy. I would have loved to keep this mod on my rig because I'm a major fan of the design and simplicity, seems I would need to go back to my ol trusty solid printed hub adaptor. @diyengineeringprojects8499, would it be possible for you to send a link to the step file, maybe I can make the adjustments and see if I can get it to last on my rig setup ?

[@monsterflakes]

hey, can you please send me the spring and metal ball amazon links or wherever you got them from? I've been doing some digging and can't seem to find them. I'm asking you because it seems like you have the quick release all printed out and ready for assembly. thanks!

[@ABG_3D]

Hey bud, my wife had a spare container that had the required conical spring, so I used that. For the balls, I used plain ol plastic bb pellets, they fitted nicely, and required no effort to make fit, but I'm still at a loss in terms of strength. I started redesigning it myself with strength in mind for a larger diammeter and heavier wheel, but stopped design work for now due to some DIY house renovation projects me and my wife want to complete.

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

i got the spring from one of these containers (see link) www.amazon.co.uk/Airtight-Storage-Container-Containers-Organized/dp/B07SG95V3T its currently unavailable, but if you find something similar, you should be able to use the spring. For the ball bearings, i dont remember which ones i bought but just do a quick search on amazon and you should be able to find something that'll work.

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

Thank you so much for your positive feedback, and I'm glad you liked the design! Unfortunately, I no longer have the original CAD models for the hub, but I have a suggestion for you. You could try importing the STL files into a CAD software and convert them into solid parts. It's worth a shot to make adjustments and see if it better suits your setup. I hope you can find a solution that works well for your specific wheel and driving style. Good luck with your modifications!

[@ABG_3D]

@@diyengineeringprojects8499 Thank you buddy, I really like this design and want to make it work for me 😁 So I tried importing the STL's into SolidWorks as solid bodies (as I usually do when I edit STL's) but I had all kinds of errors with the import and the geometry was way off. It might be because we use the Metric system where I live (cm and mm) and that might be where the issue came about. To give you an idea, if I import the STL's and try to make an assembly, the parts do not fit at all lmao. I even tried to open it and resave as step file with Fusion 360 to no avail. What I ended up doing was taking the printed part, measuring and redrawing the part in SolidWorks trying to make the parts beefy and more solid. So far the parts I've redrawn and printed have been holding up nicely in PETG at 80% infill. The only issues I have still are: I need to edit the ball holders as the BB pellets fall out when I press to release them to go over the splined shaft And I need to edit the ball placement as well as I'm off by a large margin and the balls do not seat at all, but I will get to that once I have some free time again. Thanks again for an epic design bud 💪

[@zaeldan]

unfortunately the Amazon article which contains the spring is no longer available, is it possible to have a similar spring? Thanks you !

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

Hi, just look for containers that look similar. They are all just a generic design so you should be able to find one that'll work. Good luck.

Hello a question i have cause iam thinking of changing my old quick release cause it have some play up and down and right to left ,and iam between yours cause i like ti the most from all the 3d quick release plants ive seen and a mettalic one. So my question is ,does it have any play wheb you push the wheel right and left or up and down? Not when you turn the wheel . Thank you

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

Hi. The mechanism is pretty rigid in the axial direction (up and down) however there is minimal play left to right, mostly comming from the steering wheel body itself. if you want to completely eliminate the play coming from the quick release mechanism you should modify the model of the splined shaft to slightly increase the diameter of the that is between the hexagonal base and the groove and then sand it down for a perfect fit.

[@MintJoker9578]

I have an idea, this is similar to a real life racing quick release with the plugs This setup seems can fit a t300rs steering connector which is also 7 pins like g29 Maybe this can make a quick release steering but with workings button (My English is not good so hard to explain)

That’s a good point but it also depends on how often you will be actuating this mechanism! I think for the purpose of switching steering wheels, this design is good enough!

[@zekegreene2197]

​@diyengineeringprojects8499 that's true but using the wheel will still put stress on the part in-between the actual motors and wheel

[@jrd3807]

That is amazing and creative work. Any plans on doing a sort of quickrelease for Thrustmaster?

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

Thank you! I’ve uploaded the cad files (link in description) so anyone can modify the mounting arrangement to suit different steering wheels!

[@djkuehlschrank]

Theres already one for the T300RS, im guessing it should be there for newer ones too.

[@DanieleBorsari]

This is my modified version for 70mm wheels: drive.google.com/file/d/1SUQ9RA6eu6_0Q8pFGe5Z3IFoN-OAfrxS/view

[@s.j.l.8736]

Where can you buy it and how much does it cost?

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

I have uploaded the STL files so that anyone can print and build it for themselves. The download link is in the description of the video.

[@tizicreations8780]

would this work for the thrustmaster t248?

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

I don’t know, if not the files could be amended to make them work with that steering wheel.

[@lepetitratdunet]

belle réalisation, cependant j'aurais fait l'inverse les cardans sur les volants (plus facile à imprimer) et le quick lock sur le volant... ca nécessite qu'un ressort et 4 billes... sinon faut n ressort et billes x N volants... de plus l'assemblage entre le cardan et la fixation volant avec un biseau sur l'hexagon en insertion puis en serrage sur le volant limite y'a pas bessoin de glue... Enfin c'est pas facile à expliquer une vision des choses... En tout cas merci pour ce partage, et les fichiers stl... Beau boulot !!!! C'est tout de même l'une des attaches 3d la mieux pensée de toutes celles que j'ai vu.. Bravo ! Du coup je m'abo et like ;-)

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

Thank you, you make a good point, but I think it is easier to pull with the collar! I’ve just uploaded a video of an improved version with Stl files and links to all parts needed to build it! Check it out!

[@johannspielt7295]

Does it Work for g 923?

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

haven't tried fitting thi to a G923 but i dont see why it shouldn't work!

[@johannspielt7295]

@ DIY Engineering Projects OK

[@B24Gaming]

Can you use a different steering wheel with this set up or do you have to use the g29 wheel

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

Not sure, but you could try modifying the model to fit other steering wheels.

[@luisfernandogomes6324]

Nice video! thank you. Why is the additional wight for the adapter important tho? is there any limit in case I want to put a new heavy steering wheel?

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

Thanks! Not really, as long as the weight of the new steering wheel is reasonable it should be fine. I just included it because i thought it would be interesting.

[@algenovex]

nice but looks so unconfy with the buttons and paddles so far... am I wrong?

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

Personally, i don't have any issues reaching the paddles. The buttons are a bit awkward to use but having the freedom to rapidly change the steering wheel is worth it for me.

[@slyton951]

what size and diameter is the spring

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

Small End: Outside Diameter: 30mm Inside Diameter: 27mm Large End: Outside Diameter: 39mm Inside Diameter: 36mm Spring Height: 28mm

[@GreekSIMRACING]

@@diyengineeringprojects8499 Where can we found such spring?its difficult to find in local market

[@marvicdigital]

Muchas gracias por tu gran aporte, me entusiasma mucho para hacerme uno.

[@pravin._.7436]

do you have the CAD files for the shaft or is there a name for it?

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

I’ve shared a link in the description where you can download all the files needed to print this.

[@N0edL]

What spring is tha

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

I got it from one of these food storage containers i had. www.amazon.co.uk/Airtight-Storage-Container-Containers-Organized/dp/B07SG95V3T

[@Gorge06]

Do u sell it and if you do where can i get one ??

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

if you are interesting in purchasing a quick realase mechanism please send me an email at: [e-mail]

[@1liran1]

works for g27?

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

Not sure as I don’t have a G27 steering wheel. If you have one you could measure the holes and the distance between them and check with the model to see if it would work.

[@borlinha1232]

what material was used

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

I used PLA filament.

[@deonyy2839]

Is there the ding?

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

yup!

[@janschubert9451]

the shifter pedals are quiet far away from the wheel now arent they? o.O

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

It really depends on the size of your hands. For me it’s OK.

[@Ak_the_great]

Why file the two pieces? Why not just make it one piece? Just curious

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

The bottom of the base with the hexagonal hole has some thin bosses on it and printing this part in 2 pieces allows me to flip the base for a better quality print compared to using supports.

[@Ak_the_great]

@@diyengineeringprojects8499 oh okay makes sense well I cant wait to try this myself

[@manuellenares2722]

Does it dings?

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

yup!

[@josekremer2014]

Could tou Tell me If it's for Logitech g27 ?

[@diyengineeringprojects8499]

I designed this for the G29 but it can easily be modified to fit any steering wheel. The files can be downloaded from the link in the description

[@gaspedaltv4709]

thanks man
