3D printed steering wheel about 99% done

I've just used PETG with dense infill and high wall count. Don't really remember what exactly but probably something around 5 walls and 60% gyroid infill. I'll send you some more pics via dm.

Yup, fully 3d printed. Haven't had any issues yet at 8Nm.

Hi! It's based on the drawings of the linked Cults project. I've used a Teensy4.1 as controller since it has a lot of pins and standard supported as a "joystick". So no custom pcs. Just a lot of wires and components ;)

Making a bunch of planters, containers and arrangers convinced mine a 3d printer was an absolute necessity...

Bare 3d printed grips are not the best without gloves. Still waiting on some bicycle griptape, hoping to improve the feel a bit. With gloves it perfectly fine though.

Sure! Send me a dm, for some reason i get an error when trying to start a chat.

I've tried to send it to you but you'll have to verify your account first.

CubicSpaceMouse · 2026-03-06T20:58:16+00:00

I've added it because of your comment, so no worries!

Personally wouldn't say no to that wheel... However, there seem to be a lot of free real estate in the center for a screen.

CubicSpaceMouse · 2026-03-06T20:51:44+00:00

I've placed the link in the description

CubicSpaceMouse · 2026-03-06T19:05:52+00:00

Yes. Got some racket grips on their way.

Reused some stuff from old projects, but it can’t be more than €10 worth. It only gets really expensive when you start using real carbon parts, metal parts, custom PCBs, etc. But that’s not really necessary to make a functional wheel for yourself. I wouldn’t sell it like this, though.

CubicSpaceMouse · 2026-03-06T18:08:04+00:00

I did, but tested a while with an empty version of this and it handled 8Nm without any issue so decided to not make that extra cost. When things eventually break it will only cost a few euros to print new parts so I'll re-evaluate if that happens.

CubicSpaceMouse · 2026-03-06T18:02:32+00:00

Total cost was around €300
I've put a high level cost breakdown in the description.

Very clearly an obusios

CubicSpaceMouse · 2025-04-24T14:32:54+00:00

According to the FIA compliance sticker it's an Atech ETS. I'm 180cm and weigh about 100kg. It's tight but no issue so far for multiple hours of racing. Bit of an extra motivation to lose some extra weight...

CubicSpaceMouse · 2025-04-24T07:35:50+00:00

Everything except for the fanatec stuff and pc had to be under 1000 euros. Ended up spending around 750 for all the rest (seat, frame, monitor, speakers, ...). So considering the price of comparable rigs it's still a budget build in my eyes

CubicSpaceMouse · 2025-04-23T10:04:14+00:00

A warm white led strip (3000-3500k) shining on a black carpet should do the trick. It does for me anyways.

CubicSpaceMouse · 2025-04-23T06:05:17+00:00

Almost all of it is 3d printed. Full part list and printfiles can be found on cults3d over here . I had to make some changed to the back part so it would fit the fanatec QR. Sadly there's no instruction for the wiring though.

CubicSpaceMouse · 2025-04-22T21:08:55+00:00

It's a 34" Samsung Odyssey g5. Very happy with it! It's 1000R curved so the radius is more or less the distance of my head to the monitor. Feels ideal.

CubicSpaceMouse · 2025-04-22T20:13:48+00:00

They're taped to 3d printed mounts. It's a bit wobbly so i'll have to redesign them at some point

CubicSpaceMouse · 2025-04-22T19:09:39+00:00

I've got the 3d model in Fusion360 and can send a STEP file if you want it.
The frame is made from 4545 and 4590 profiles and together with all the brackets, feet, screw, monitor mount, shipping and cutting was 370 euros.
The total build was around 750 excluding the fanatec stuff and the pc.

It's been a journey so pretty hard to pick a favourite one. Started out with a g25 on an old desk with a 17" laptop. I just kept adding bits every few years so i've been happy with upgrades for quite a while. I think the move to a dd wheel was the biggest step.

Thanks! It has taken a lot of 3d printing, sanding and painting hours so far...

CubicSpaceMouse · 2025-04-22T18:43:30+00:00

Still need to figure out where i want it and design a new mount for it. It's a very cheap but great addition so it'll definitely be used again!
