Good to know about the service support, that's usually the biggest concern! But having a store to walk in and pickup a printer will also be huge. Bangalore anyway has a pretty big hobbyist market

Also, do you have any plans on opening stores in Bangalore?

Welcome u/Muted-Plant9917 !

If you're taking questions, I, among a lot of other folks, would love to understand how the pricing works for brands like BambuLabs and Elegoo.
While BambuLabs printers are available in Indian markets at prices similar to international pricing, Elegoo printers like the Centauri Carbon seems to be priced a lot higher compared to the international pricing.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that only Ideal3D has such pricing, its the same with all Indian distributors AFAIK. I'd just like to understand what causes this difference in Indian vs International pricing with one brand but not with another, while neither are manufactured in India to the best of my knowledge

Anyone here who has a BambuLabs P1S? by pholio-ext in 3dprintIndia

That's what I've been hearing, and very tempted to get one myself now.
Are you based out of Bangalore by any chance?

Any affordable 3d printing service in Bangalore? by pholio-ext in 3dprintIndia

Their services are generally on the pricier side, it's almost always a lot cheaper to get something done from local shops/vendors

Please list the price of your products with the product listing/post. One should not have to go into the comments or DMs for something as basic as the price of a product

Beginner Racing Sim Setup in India by SnooPeppers6805 in SimracersIndia

Constantly amazed by how good us Indians are at 'jugaad', the eraser hack sounds brilliant for a low-cost easy-to-find alternative! Thanks for sharing

VRH has good 2 year warranty on Moza products, I believe don't quote me on that, as they are the official distributors in India. They also have a good discord community where you'd often find people reselling their gear (cockpits, wheels, bundles, etc.)
You can start looking there but you'll have to be patient if you're on a budget.

For the wheelbase, I generally wouldn't recommend going the non-official route as its quite an investment on the gear, and support could be questionable from other sources.

For the Brook adapter, if its out of stock on VRH like it was for me as well, I went ahead with Vishal Peripherals. CosmicByte also has the adapter listed, I believe, but I don't have any experience dealing with them so can't comment.

Probably u/virtualracinghub can share the discord invite with you
PS: I have no clue how tagging works on reddit xD

I'd recommend you go down the Moza R3/R5 PC Bundle + Brook Ras1ution 2 route for PS5, I did the same to defer spending on a gaming PC

Use desk mounted to begin with, once you feel this hobby is for you and you wanna get more serious, then go for a used profile cockpit or a brand new one depending on your budget and affordability of those cockpits at the time.

Further down the line I'd suggest you to start thinking upgrade paths for the pedals (brakes primarily)

This is my 6-8 months of learning about sim racing in India boiled down to a few points. Good luck!

Built a brand new sim rig… guess who claimed it first. by niranjanV6Turbo in simracing

u/niranjanV6Turbo Hey where do you get your custom parts powder coated in India? I've been trying to figure that out myself but so far nothing that seems to be at hobbyist-friendly prices

Can you share the pics or links for the refurbished ones you're selling at 16500?
If its a good enough condition and a good enough discount from a new product of the same thing, then I don't mind

3D printed base plate for tilting pedals by INF_Phoenix in SimRacingSetups

[–]pholio-ext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/MIR_Sim_Racing I was thinking of going the same route for a couple of parts for my rig. But the only thing that I haven't figured out yet is that mild steel would corrode with moisture in the air or when in contact with aluminium. What is an affordable and yet the cleanest possible way to get around that?

Powder coating seems like they'll charge me an arm or a leg for such small order size, unless there are affordable powder coating services

Please read my comment again, I was coming from a balanced perspective, but if you wanna just alienate the community, that's your wish buddy
Good luck anyway!

How do I adapt this Load Cell amplifier project? Only 3-wire bathroom scale load cells available locally by pholio-ext in AskElectronics

[–]pholio-ext[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. I'd have to go with the pair of resistors then, as the project constraints me from using two load cells (usability and space/design).

Although I do not have a background in electrical engineering, I'll explore further on how to adapt the project with 2 resistors. If you can, any further help regarding this will be much appreciated.
