When I saw the thumbnail I was positive it will be a lot of laser cutting, CNC, and what not... but it was none of that... hats off to a fellow DIYer - this was seriously inspirational!
@@c0r5e if you have a harness on a racing seat you don't need an airbag. F1 drivers are safer in their f1 car than regular people on their regular cars. And f1 cars have no airbag. The harness keeps you glued to the chair. Unless the whole front of your car flies off you won't need an airbag.
One more thing you could do to this wheel in order for it to have a stronger/more durable mounting face is to put nuts immediately up against the base aluminium plate after passing the screws through, and tightening down. Then adding additional nuts on the ends of the screws, right up against the inside of the housing, that way the housing is resting on the nuts. This takes away all the strain from the 3D printed plastic parts and makes the whole mounting assembly incredibly strong, easily enough for 30Nm direct drive systems. Love your videos, you've been a huge source of inspiration!
I've been using this on my 83 Ford Escort and it's driving like a boss. Thanks m8. I didn't have a 3d printer so I used a jigsaw and instead of carbon fibre I used fibreglass which was recycled from an old building job. Some of the texture gets into my hand every now and again and it itches like a bitch but if I don't rub my eyes and use my gloves when I drive it works well. Couldn't be happier, I even think I take those corners a little faster.
This is very nice, thank god your channel isn't dead. Could you make a proper 2000s esque F1 rim (like the BMW Williams or Schumacher era Ferrari)? Or possibly even a proper GT3 rim like that of the R8 LMS and/or AMG GT3? I'm really starting to like this series of making specific brand wheels.
Not to diss your former self’s creative choices, but if you created narrated re-releases of your former EDM-music-based videos, I would TOTALLY watch every single one multiple times over.
Dude 2 years ago I was watching a video of you the video was custom wheels for the g29 that day I got a t500rs set with th8a thanks you were my inspiration for sim racing
@@maximilianschaffler9981 TMX doesn't have a quick release, it comes with the wheel hard-fixed to the base and to you will need to completely disassemble it to remove it. The adapter works only for the likes of T300, TX and the higher end ones
OMG this is so awesome! Thanks for posting. Also a side tip, you can use a general deburring tool that can clean up sharp edges on the metal plate a lot faster than using a file.
Honestly it's much easier to but this stuff. But I took on an engineering course and I'm planning to make loads of things like that. You're my fav channel because of these things. You vids never fail to entertain me and make me want to create something myself. Keep up the good work, and I hope that you can create a online shop or something. More money for you means more videos for us! Keep up the vids. Can you make a video on how to make custom wheel rumbles? I mean it would be difficult as the inside of the wheel would be hollow. But a rumbling wheel when you hit curbs or anything would be a great addition to FFB. And also if it's possible a clutch pedal with a very strong vibration when hitting the biting point of the gearbox. If anyone can do it. It's you man. Looking forward to your next vid. Hope you read this comment and try and make this. It would be awesome!!!
It's easier to buy, of course, but since this is a niche markets and economy of scale doesn't play in our favour, it's also hella expensive. If you have knowledge, none of the tools required to make this is particularly specific, not even the 3D printer these days, and the materials are rather cheap. You can build several wheels like this one for the price of buying one.
Could you maybe make a video on how you can make a wheel without 3d printed parts, cause I dont have one and I really want to make a wheel with your instauctions cause yours are definitely the best looking!!
Hey that's a nice guide, what other ways can I do the cutouts on 3mm thick aluminium if I can't have access to a jigsaw? I do have a dremel, but it is quite loud to cut on metals. I'm thinking to use hand tools. I should also say, I do live in an apartment with very thin walls so making too much noise isn't ideal.
You inspire me mate awesome job, with the fanatec hub could you just hook into the existinv wiring and not use the fana switches? No usb hanging out that way.
This is amazing. I just have 1 question, does the USB cable dangling there affects you at all or is it just the same as the wheels without them? I am making my own wheel set and Im not sure if I should route te cables trough the shaft or like how u did here..
@@birtalanlorant5572 what about the paddle shifters, rear housing for wires and board, the spacer. There is more than just the handles that are 3d printed. I got a great 3d printer for £150 called ender 3 and it's great. I have made this wheel and it's way easier than people think, just time consuming
I found your channel recently and it is truly awesome. I already bought the materials to build my own analog handbrake. Without your videos I wouldn't be able to do it. I have a 3D printer too, would you mind telling me which CAD software you use? I learned CAD with a professional software which sadly isn't usable for me anymore. I haven't found a reasonably priced software that I like since then.
I have a Logitech G29, I love your upgrades. Based on your build, I am planning to buy a 3d printer. I been holding off because of price but they have got so much cheaper over the years. This is differently on my future build list.
Great video. Don't even have a gaming pc I just love to watch what you make. How did you model the handles in fusion to get the shapes.? Fancy making a video or did you watch some video on RUclips if so can you post a link please. Your video are great just to watch even though I will never be able to make
Fantastic work! One question: does the USB encoder work just like an additional controlled plugged in, besides the wheel? Does the game recognize that all right? Thanks!

Amazing stuff, if you ever started a store selling these for cheaper than competitors, i'll be a instant buyer!
KraM1t not possible due to the terms and conditions of distribution, if you read in the description it states it.
@@Simlife101 that distribution thing is about the viewer. The viewer cant resell these but he can
Ravne tbh idk but he will probably have to remove the logos and maybe change it a bit if he wants to sell the wheels
Ravne he was trying to say that he wants this guy who made the video to start selling these
@@jarenbraud9559 I know
I needed a little guidance on wrapping the handles. Gluing the nuts to the front is genius! it looks so clean. Thanks!

Thanks Mark!
That is fantastic, serious skill and craftsmansship there. Well done.
No joke, you're videos are inspiring! I can't wait to start building some of these wheels once I get my rig going!
Just bought these plans. Should have mine built next week! Can't wait!

Thanks Chad!
stunning, pure talent! this video need more views
You sould make a video on how to make a cheap force feedback steering wheel!Thanks for your videos!!
Needless to say what you made is stunning! Man your hands are blessed!
Not sure I can say anything that already hasn’t been said, true talent, thanks for the share.
Even though i will not gonna make what he make in this video. Somehow i found it satisfying. Lol keep up man
Another gem of a vid! Can't wait for the one where you make a Fanatec shifter usb adapter;)
I don't know anything about electronics, but I love your videos, I really wanted to know how to do it!
Man this is nuts. Might give this a shot in the future
Great videos as usual. And thank you for doing more with Thrustmaster gear. A truck shifter for the th8A is what I'm really waiting for though :)
I don’t have the tools but its just soooo cool to watch thanks for making me happy
Can you do a custom Thrustmaster T150 or Thrustmaster Tmx wheel mod? Would be awesome
Omg i was about to say it!!!😂
i dont think so
Will this rim work with a thrust master wheel base?

Blimey that’s a rarity, a really decent job done on RUclips.
Never cease to impress! You all are amazing! 👍
Loved this. I'm going to use this for my SCCA Race car build! Well done and keep it up.

Thanks mate, starting the build this weekend!
Thank you so much for the inspiration, just what I needed for my upcoming diy direct drive
Right.....I need to get a 3d printer approved by the Mrs...
This stuff is amazing!

Another outstanding project and presentation mate. Wish I could get my 3d printer dialed in like that.
Wow, the king is back!!!
Cool Video ..Glad To See Ya Back Making Cool Stuff Again..Keep Up The Good Work
Thanks mate!
Another awesome DIY project by amstudio. This would be cool to use with the Audi A4 DTM in Assetto Corsa in VR on my Fanatec base 😄👍
wow dude, this is AWESOME!
This is amazing! Keep it going
incredible work
Fantastic job my Man.
I love your work mate 🔥🔥🔥
Is it possible that you can make custom flight pedals with proximity sensors? Or maybe use some old pedals like the g27? thanks in advance.
I heard a racing steering wheel can cost multiple thousand bucks, i think they should buy from you.
That looks so nice 👍🏻.
Loving it, why did you use a joy stick controller and not a arduino pro micro?
Id like to know the same
Very very impressive!
Thanks Dean!
Insane work
Fantastic job!! Do you think is possible, to change two push button, with two encoder, to permits the modification of TC and ABS?
Excelente trabajo, felicitaciones. Saludos desde Argentina.
Great job as usual , thanks!
Whow great wheel and great tutorial! Thanks!
Simply Amazing!!!
Thanks for making this,you're awesome
You are a BEAST 👏👏

YES YOU'RE BACK
If your thinking dam I don't have a 3D Printer you could just sand the handles out of wood, especially if you're just going to cover it with suede
Or order them from a 3D Printing service if you're too lazy for that.
@@smallpants Or just go to a library and print them there.
yeah or use nice wood and just wax it.
also i would use a 5mm fibreglass instead of aluminium, as aluminium bends instead of flexing like fibreglass
@@inevitablecraftslab which is why the real car teams also use fiberglass to make their wheels ;) who needs aluminum pfftt.
@@Globespy they use carbon fibre, and if you want to use carbon fibre but dont want to spend the money use fibre glass.
Awesome. Is it possible to use the quick Release without the Universal hub ? The screws are the Same? A quick answer would be good. Thx
Sadly, a Fanatec base does only deliver Ffb as long as a "rim" or in this case the universal hub is connected to it.
Super sick but need alot of equipment mostly the 3d printer dont have access :(
Stellar Job though i bet u can resell them for a ton
Sand 2 bits of wood, instead of 3d printing the handles. Ezpz
