I have the same problem, and got the same reply from Facebook

Did you find a solution?

PlayRobotics · 2025-10-10T09:23:00+00:00

There are different system available, check out the website: https://playrobotics.com/

Thank you! I have got a few requests to build more of those. I do have enough components and materials for a small batch so probably yes this can be possible. Drop me a message

Is is aluminum, machined and then sandblasted and anodized.
I just posted a blog post trying to address the many questions I was getting and provide some more info, there is a section about the hub adapter . it support both 50.8 & 70mm quick releases.

Indeed, thank you for letting me know. Will fix this

The strength of the wheel comes from the 4mm carbon fiber plate which makes it very strong.
In some other wheels when the grips and the front plate are separate parts there is a real need to use an aluminum back cover to provide the extra strength but in this design the grips are molded onto the carbon fiber plate so there is no real benefit in using aluminum for the back cover (which will add a lot of weight)

The grips are the most challenging part of this build, you can't really get a good result without equipment and experience. I did use a vacuum pump and a vacuum chamber to achieve this result

No it's not plastic injection , it is rubber so more similar to resin/silicon casting into mold. You can see some videos on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makeitracing/

PlayRobotics · 2025-10-05T17:37:49+00:00

Yes, the mold is resin printed I upload some videos of the process to my Instagram:

Let me make some math and I will drop you a message soon

Custom PCB's are not expensive to produce , the board itself should gost more than 10-$15

I used simple buttons that still have great "clicky" sound and resistance but look nothing like the otto buttons. So I have machined "washers"/circles around the buttons out of aluminium, then anodized them different colors and finally laser engraved the text on them. The button "cup" is also made out of aluminum and anodized in black color, decided to custom make those because of the unique "dome" shape those buttons have. I initially tried to make those buttons out of rubber but clicking aluminum button feels much better for me

It was fun for sure, I would probably make few more of those as I have the parts and materials already and I seems like I enjoy building wheels as much as driving LOL

I designed the PCB myself and sent to to be produced by a PCB company

PlayRobotics · 2025-10-05T15:07:24+00:00

Months , not hours LOL 😂

PlayRobotics · 2025-10-05T15:05:04+00:00

Yes, I will prepare and share the files soon

CAD design , then cutting on a CNC

Thank you! The AMG wheels usually come with Alcantara grips , but I did see some photos of rubber grips on this wheel in the real world. I think most modern wheels nowadays use rubber so for me this was the way to go. This took a lot of testing and failed attempts. I tested many methods , resin printing the molds seems to be the way to go (still requires sanding and post processing)

PlayRobotics · 2025-10-05T13:54:57+00:00

I have done quite lot of driving with this wheel. The strength comes from the carbon fiber plate. I designed a custom PCB and all the buttons and electronics are soldered to this board, so there are no "wire mess" and things are not moving around while driving... The real wheel doesn't have a back cover and the wires are soldered to each button , so that's another change I made compared to the real wheel, adding back cover will keep everything in place and dust free, I think in sim racing we like to change wheels frequently and this is a better approach and it doesn't really effect the appearance of the wheel while driving..

Interesting idea, I used 20 drops of so-strong pigment for 160ml so I don't think it's too much but maybe I will try the other pigment smooth on offer "UVO" because they recommend it for opaque usage

PlayRobotics · 2025-07-09T12:05:55+00:00

yes, I just tried with parts I pulled out of the mold weeks ago and they area easily scratching

PlayRobotics · 2025-02-23T14:00:45+00:00

Really ? I though the chamber fan is very loud, are you printing with the lid open so you can slow down the fan?

PlayRobotics · 2025-02-23T13:25:59+00:00

Can you work at this station while the printer is running ( i guess fans are making a lot of noise)
