@@c0r5e if you have a harness on a racing seat you don't need an airbag. F1 drivers are safer in their f1 car than regular people on their regular cars. And f1 cars have no airbag. The harness keeps you glued to the chair. Unless the whole front of your car flies off you won't need an airbag.

Dude you are one of the most talented people I ever saw, almost like an artist.... if not one....

[@DiViNiTY1337]

One more thing you could do to this wheel in order for it to have a stronger/more durable mounting face is to put nuts immediately up against the base aluminium plate after passing the screws through, and tightening down. Then adding additional nuts on the ends of the screws, right up against the inside of the housing, that way the housing is resting on the nuts. This takes away all the strain from the 3D printed plastic parts and makes the whole mounting assembly incredibly strong, easily enough for 30Nm direct drive systems. Love your videos, you've been a huge source of inspiration!

[@chrisprelot7835]

I've been using this on my 83 Ford Escort and it's driving like a boss. Thanks m8. I didn't have a 3d printer so I used a jigsaw and instead of carbon fibre I used fibreglass which was recycled from an old building job. Some of the texture gets into my hand every now and again and it itches like a bitch but if I don't rub my eyes and use my gloves when I drive it works well. Couldn't be happier, I even think I take those corners a little faster.

I found your channel recently and it is truly awesome. I already bought the materials to build my own analog handbrake. Without your videos I wouldn't be able to do it. I have a 3D printer too, would you mind telling me which CAD software you use? I learned CAD with a professional software which sadly isn't usable for me anymore. I haven't found a reasonably priced software that I like since then.

yeah or use nice wood and just wax it. also i would use a 5mm fibreglass instead of aluminium, as aluminium bends instead of flexing like fibreglass

@@inevitablecraftslab which is why the real car teams also use fiberglass to make their wheels ;) who needs aluminum pfftt.

Honestly it's much easier to but this stuff. But I took on an engineering course and I'm planning to make loads of things like that. You're my fav channel because of these things. You vids never fail to entertain me and make me want to create something myself. Keep up the good work, and I hope that you can create a online shop or something. More money for you means more videos for us! Keep up the vids. Can you make a video on how to make custom wheel rumbles? I mean it would be difficult as the inside of the wheel would be hollow. But a rumbling wheel when you hit curbs or anything would be a great addition to FFB. And also if it's possible a clutch pedal with a very strong vibration when hitting the biting point of the gearbox. If anyone can do it. It's you man. Looking forward to your next vid. Hope you read this comment and try and make this. It would be awesome!!!

[@MirTort]

It's easier to buy, of course, but since this is a niche markets and economy of scale doesn't play in our favour, it's also hella expensive. If you have knowledge, none of the tools required to make this is particularly specific, not even the 3D printer these days, and the materials are rather cheap. You can build several wheels like this one for the price of buying one.
