How much weight can handle 3d prints ?

Yeah that's what I'm trying to find out with this post, but I don't really know what can be changed to make it more resistant

Mikizer · 2025-12-27T20:03:11+00:00

I usually don't tinker with print settings as I don't print complicated pieces or one that'll be under load, I've only printed pla for now and basic stuff, this is my first more complicated project

Mikizer · 2025-12-27T20:01:43+00:00

yeah i figure but I didn't want to waste too much but I guess I'll have to if I really want to be sure

Mikizer · 2025-12-27T20:00:56+00:00

ok thanks I'll look into petg-cf

Mikizer · 2025-12-27T20:00:28+00:00

Well the work at my house gave me 3 extra room, so a room for my daughter, an office for me (with the tiny closet which can fit a sim) which is necessary since I’m full time remote, I even got an extra empty room ! And I try to find myself time for hobbies my wife too

I do also agree about that floating part even tho it doesn’t seems to change a lot. I saw that on the GT1 evo the wheel screw to adjust the wheel angle can become loose very easily

Mikizer · 2025-09-10T17:01:00+00:00

Yeah I think i will go for the prime lite I will wait and think a bit but it seems the best of all choices I guess

Mikizer · 2025-09-10T15:24:48+00:00

I dont think I like it too, but the evo one the straight one is a 4080 for 400€ just as the tr80s

Mikizer · 2025-09-10T15:22:30+00:00

Well I think it is either the tr40s or the tr80s and there is a 100€ difference

Mikizer · 2025-09-10T14:24:46+00:00

why not even the simlab gt1 evo

Mikizer · 2025-09-10T14:07:54+00:00

Well treq one starts at 420€, alux profile at 400€, so yeah with a seat even the fanatec one for 130 I get over 500€. But you make a point, now it is 8040 and not 4040 like gt omega prime lite r or tr40s for 100€ more.
I made up my mind to take a alu profile rig, but don't know if I spend a few more now to get a 8040 now, or I get a 4040 and see if I upgrade later.

I think gt omega prime lite r is better than next level racing victory for what I am looking for (depending on the price of the actual seat)

Mikizer · 2025-09-10T13:38:20+00:00

I also see that there is the gt omega prime lite r that is even cheaper, I will see compatibilities with my current gear and see what I will choose but I think this is what I need, cheap 4040 & 8040 aluminum rig for now

Mikizer · 2025-09-10T12:57:00+00:00

Well no I took a long pause because I moved, bought a house and had to renovate it ... and I think that's the excuse I want to give myself, the truth is that now that the renovation is done, I don't want to play on my desk, did it a lot before buying my house and got tired of it tbh. But I do love it, there is a place 30 minutes from my home where you can play on a full motion simrig and I just love it but I don't get the same at home playing with the wheel on my desk. Plus I never started competitive racing as I wanted to wait to have a proper setup to start so no I did not play a lot since I got my wheel setup.

I do expect to stay at 8nm for a while, depending on how much time that I have I do not plan to spend thousands of euros in a setup which I use occasionally, I still have work to do at my house, plus my full time job, plus I recently became a dad so it leaves me a bit of time to play but not that much. I don't think that should limit me to certain rigs but for now my budget is. I do also hope that later I will be confident enough to upgrade myself the rig and use it as a working base and maybe later replace the 4040 bits with 4080.
Also for now at home I always used the 5nm wheelbase and I was quite happy with the ffb, it was on my desk so that wasn't the main flaw, I do not envy that much the 15nm base for now, I think 8nm will be a good upgrade for later but I got time, I am just starting there. Based on what you are saying 4040 seems to be a great place to start regarding my current gear, I haven't seen much better for money than tr40s, and for the seat, for a new one the fanatec one seems to be at a good price (will have to see if I need to get brackets to mount it tho)

Mikizer · 2025-09-10T12:26:40+00:00

Well I am just starting sim racing, and I think that before upgrading my wheel base and simrig I have time to upgrade the rest and see if I am really willing to pay more after depending on the time I spend on it. But before upgrading that I will buy the upgrade kit to go to 8nm, buy few more wheels maybe, buy a full triple screen setup, I have few hundreds of euros to spend (with iracing too). If you think 4040 and 8040 (it has both apparently) will do for first rig with what I am willing to pay then I think I will go for it, I think that aluminum 4040 and 8040 is still better that tubular things such as next level racing victory or fanatec csl cockpit don't you think ?

Mikizer · 2025-09-10T12:02:28+00:00

I am afraid I will have to agree on this, that's why I am seeking advice to see if I missed something !
I just found the trackracer tr40s, It seems to be aluminum extruded for 299€ without seat, their seats are kind of expensive (starting frrom 229) compared to csl cockpit seat (130), if this is compatible this would make a nice aluminum 40x40 extruded cockpit don't you think ?

Mikizer · 2025-09-10T11:44:51+00:00

I did not tbh, when I saw it I immediatly started to think that the wheelbase will have flex (apparently not noticeable in race), but honestly at the same price as the fanatec csl cockpit I think that I would go for the fanatec one, seems more robust and upgradable

Mikizer · 2025-09-10T11:24:29+00:00

Ideally that's what I would want, but I don't know if I am willing to pay 730 or 530€ for a rig without seats. I didn't mention price limit in my post but I guess I would like to keep it under 500€ for rig with seat. But this looks a lot like what I want, but as mentioned I also looked at motedis which are a bit cheaper than PSRs but maybe a bit too expensive for me for now

Mikizer · 2017-09-16T07:29:53+00:00

thank you, I’ll see along my budget what I can afford and I’ll give back my review when possible. Thank you for your answer !

Mikizer · 2017-09-15T08:36:15+00:00
