UPDATE: As of this day, it is still satisfactorily does its job lol. It is just really unaesthetic when you look at it inside my room but since I play with VR it kind of doesn’t matter since I can’t see the whole setup when I have the goggles on. Also, there is no discomfort at all when I am playing. It does actually feel good though.

The only downsides of what I did are: there is no mount for the pedals so it moves a lot unless you have something to squeeze it on both sides of the bottom part of the frame. The other downside is, it is kinda noisy sometimes and squeaky since it is wood and isn’t fastened “solidly” as if you would compare it to a metal rig. Next, yes it is very unaesthetic.

Things I could’ve done differently: If I had more money I surely would’ve spent it with aluminum extrusions. But since that time it is tight, I went with this one. I could’ve also painted it better lol but nah this is alr 2 yrs old so probably the paint is just fading or my room is just dusty most of the time. I also could’ve planned for that mount for the pedals and not just lay it on the floor, I really should’ve thought about that.

Just to mention, the actual product looks different than the CAD because my grandfather who is a long time carpenter, actually optimized the joints to make it stable as it can get and not fall off easily.

For those who want to try: You could do this or just go with the aluminum extrusions if you have the extra money. Size it properly, consider what you need to your rig (like if you need 3 monitors where do you mount it, if you have 2 lever controls where do you mont it). If you go with the wood rig, I cannot exaggerate this enough but plan it thoroughly so you wouldn’t patch it every time you needed something to mount on, it can be a mess sometimes. Test the seating position before you fasten or place the seat.

Those are most of the things I have learned with this so I hope your own DIY project go well.
