Can you make a tutorial for analog clutch paddles (behind the wheel) like f1 cars have? Thanks!

[@Pepeex22]

Good idea!

[@DCtropical]

@@Pepeex22 thank you!

[@alexsib444]

you could stack 2 magnetic shifters and cut off from the clutch one in order to make it smaller (that's what fanatec does at least).

[@chickenjonte_]

@@alexsib444 it wont be analog

[@alexsib444]

chickenjonte true I cannot argue

[@rjl95]

You know what would be great? A design for a single-axis F1 type magnetic shifter. So that you can up and downshift on both sides of the wheel!

[@ALLRNDCRICKETER]

Technically what is a WRC shifter paddle, yes I'd love to see him make one of them 👌

[@rjl95]

I think you mean the ones that don't have one central pivoting point? E.g. you could drive with 1 shifter paddle on one side. The F1 type have one shared axis in the center which they rotate around. So the left and right shifter meet in the middle basically.

[@ALLRNDCRICKETER]

@@rjl95 I get what you mean. I don't think it would be possible to 3d print a system something like what were saying, due to the face that there needs to be the wheel mounting point in the middle, plus on most F1 wheels they come above the wheel mounting, and are very thin. 3d printing something such as would no doubt break with wear and tear over time

[@pirozcontractor6006]

@@rjl95 i think Fanatec have already done that with the 650S wheel

Yes they did, but now we need a freely available 3d-printable model/project :D

Built this today with my little one. It is the perfect wheel for him since it's a little bit smaller in size than the Thrustmaster wheels I have.

[@TrevHowsonDemon82]

Hi I know it's been a while, but can you remember how long it took to print this in total? Places by me charge by the hour to print and trying to get a rough cost.

[@timlaw4720]

Awesome work there am! A lot of effort and hard work put into this well done m8 keep em coming

[@pirozcontractor6006]

Nice, now can we have some magnetic paddle mods for the G27/9 wheels? I'm sure you know how mushy and strange the paddles feel. Alternatively, could you do a guide to wiring the TM1836 displays (the one at 2:56) with Arduino nanos? I'd also like to see how you can connect buttons to the 8 button terminals at the bottom and get them working as well, so there is no need for 2 USB cables. Please, I know you've done a video on a TM1386, but that was a separate dash and I want to see how you could integrate it with the buttons so that the end result could look like this wheel and the TM1386 (In a way like the BMW Williams wheel of 2004 that Juan Pablo Montoya drove).

[@angelcc5819]

It is a very good work friend, it would be nice that in the future you will take a variant with 2 clutch paddles and the central screen, even so very good design I do not miss a video

[@srph6807]

very nice project, congrat ! you helped me a lot for my button plate project

[@akroutsamo]

Well done, but always with a Logitech Wheel base , how about DIY the hole thing 3d printed Keep up the good stuff

[@byFCdesign]

I absolutely have to do mine!

[@OliverPohl]

That looks great. Having a 3d printer seems to be standard by now.

[@BDoh]

Looks awesome 👏🏼 Wish I could use it with a Fanatec CSL base

[@yakfish36]

You can but you need to sacrifice a current wheel to get the connectors and boards. Its a bit of effort but doable. Im also looking into tge blutooth connection set ups on the new dd and hoping to retro fit one to my 2.5 will post how it is done if i can get it working that way as it will be neater.

[@vaggelispapadimitriou9135]

Can you do a wheel rim mod for the thrustmaster t150 ? nobody has a good one on youtube

[@danielprevratil3149]

There's one thing holding everyone from it. I have one as well and planning to do it, the reason is that in the rim there's pcb with those buttons wired to it. If you disconnect it, the wheel won't be recognized in windows. I have seen that you can buy small pcb that will be placed inside the wheel and pretend to be the one in the rim. Otherwise it's pretty much the same as other rim mods.

Hello, awesome videos, you are very talented, may you tell me if you really used that chinesse filament from BG to make that pieces? Im looking for a good quality and cheap filament, and your prints looks really great. What brand of filament did you used? Thanks in advance!

[@CW7_]

Don't try to safe money on filament. There are already enough sources of potential errors when it comes to 3d printing that you should rule out the filament factor at least. Any filament between $20-30 with good reviews on Amazon should be alright.

The wheel base adapter is not included with the wheel kit

Hey @AMSTUDIO, again you amaze me with your DIY projects. I am trying to find out how much this will cost to make. So my question is: how much PLA did you use to print this wheel? Is 1 KG enough?

[@amstudioprojects]

Thanks, yeah 1kg is plenty. It uses a bit less than half a roll.

[@guillermovt5725]

Fantastic job!!! I was thinking about doing something simular myself. But being a noob without much free time this is fantastic. I bought the plans and want to alter the button cover in fusion 360 but i am struggling to convert it so i can edit it in fusion 360. Is there a possibility to get the .f3d file of this part? It would make my life a whole lot easier. Thanks again, love your work.
