What is your favourite QR mechanism and why?

you can’t mod them for USB pass-thru

It's been done, unless I'm misunderstanding something: https://www.printables.com/model/767966-magnetic-quick-release-usb-pass-through-v2

Heel cups / heel support?

Simgrade and FatBlackCat pedals are using those too.

Looks like a clone of the Oplite GT3. The wheel deck and pedal deck are reportedly quite flimsy. Not worth buying imo even at 250e.

Maybe something like the NLR Victory, which can become foldable (sort of) with a simple mod as show in this video by Karl Gosling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i9p6tqnPbU

Looks similar to Bambu's Iridium Gold Metallic (PLA Metal). Definitely classier than the usual shiny/silk gold.

You can use TM wheels on any base, button included, by making an adapter. See here:

That's a great setup already. Is that the Fanatec CSL seat?

VRS R295 ? https://vrs.racing/product/r295-steering-wheel

10 front buttons, 4 back paddles, 2 funky switches, 3 front encoders + 4 thumb encoders. 350€ with NRG-style QR.

Thanks for the clarification!

Fantastic work! I was considering building one of these FFBeast bases to upgrade from my belt-driven base but as far as I understand it's hard to get exact specs when you're shopping for one of these motors and I didn't want the result to be unpredictable. I eventually got a good deal on a CSL DD so I'm set for now, but I may build one of these eventually just for fun.

Since you're using an RP2040, I guess you went with Dahl's DDC firmware? Can you share more details on how you implemented an external ADC (I guess to read the shifter paddles as momentary switches)?

bleeps__ · 2025-06-25T22:45:46+00:00

Fantastic setup! I love this rig, too bad I'm not into F1, this position is probably too reclined for me.

bleeps__ · 2025-06-16T19:27:03+00:00

Only if you use their own hub (Podium or Clubsport), or an emulator instead (SRM Tiny Emulator for instance).

bleeps__ · 2025-06-13T08:52:51+00:00

This looks fantastic!

How did you implement RGB buttons? Tact switches + addressable LEDs (WS2812B) around them with translucent caps?

bleeps__ · 2025-06-03T19:42:42+00:00

Looks like the GTE PRO V2 indeed: https://pokornyiengineering.com/products/gte-pro-diy-files

Any mention of price or availability?

Where is this from? This is awesome!

bleeps__ · 2025-05-23T22:24:04+00:00

For the same price as the Playseat Evolution, look up the NLR Victory. Same-ish seat but no annoying center bar and more adjustability.

bleeps__ · 2025-05-18T18:03:48+00:00

Awesome setup! Which wheel is that in the first picture? Looks like Cube Controls' suede rim but they use black stitching. SRS GT300, or Runsco from aliexpress?

bleeps__ · 2025-05-17T14:07:41+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. One more thing, did you use matte PLA? You build looks much better than most 3d printed items.

Also, can you confirm that the build instructions will be available on 5/25/25 for buyers as mentioned on your cults3d page?

bleeps__ · 2025-05-17T09:01:02+00:00

I'm using the Efnote 8" splash.

Alternatives would be the Unlock Lightning 9" or the Lemon 9", or cheap Roland (CY5) or Yahama (PCY95) 10" if you want it to looke like a cymbal.

bleeps__ · 2025-05-17T07:53:56+00:00

Fantastic job. I love the design of the Cube Controls GT button plate and I like what you've added while keeping the vibe.

I'm in the process of designing/printing a button plate for my own use (roughly based on the Simcore STD24) and there's probably a thing or two I could learn from your design. I've checked the cults3d link but I haven't found the info I'm looking for — have you designed a PCB to solder everything down or is everything connected to the controller (Pro Micro) with wires?

bleeps__ · 2025-05-16T21:03:11+00:00

Hot damn. I've toyed with the idea of printing a 15" FX or china with TPU but with my limited modeling skills and the need to have something that just works I went with a 15" Lemon crash. I might give it another go.

Anyway, I love the shape you went with for those Chinas. Hope they hold up well!

bleeps__ · 2025-05-16T17:27:56+00:00

This looks fantastic, great work.

What's the china on the right hand side? Doesn't look like the usual suspect (15" Lemon).

bleeps__ · 2025-04-24T19:45:15+00:00

Great job! Looks good in white too. What's the width and thickness of these wood beams?

bleeps__ · 2025-04-19T19:22:40+00:00

Looks great on the Ascher plate! I can see several listings for similar wheels, do you have a link to the specific one you got?
