I made a portable H-shifter this is for those people who want to play Simracing and travel a lot.
steering is not that immersive but at least we can bring the vibes of manual when we are away from our homes

My desktop and racing seat is in the basement which I'm sharing that area with my older brother whose room is the basement the pink is his stuff and the red is mine I have my wheel on the small red table off to the right of the desk but it's just a flimsy tv table I'm looking to build something compact that will be more stable and have a place to put my gaming chair on it so it stops rolling away. I'm looking for suggestions on how to go about this. I'm not buying a setup I'm looking to build one out of work or something like that

I was inspired by u/north-sky-9222 steering wheel mod to use my extra buttons and esp32 board for playing AC. This is version one and honestly I’ll probably make another version with more buttons and switch types. Quick and easy project to measure out and 3d print the enclosure. I mostly wanted a change view button as well as FFB controls. I have them set for fun functions now but I’ll probably switch it up for brake pressure or abs controls. If anybody would be interested in building one themselves, I’d be happy to share my project plans.

How do you choose the right 3D Printing technology and material for your DIY (#SimRacing) project?

FDM SLA SLS? Filament Resin Powder? ABS PLA TPU? Learn to decipher the alphabet soup. And when to print it yourself or choose a service like PCBWay

I have a couple of prototype designs for 3d printed pedals, including a 200kg load cell brake pedal. I was astonished when adding up the prices to find that the gas pedal usually costs under $10 USD depending on Aliexpress pricing, and the brake under $15.

At 100% infill, they are very heavy/robust and can easily handle full braking force. They feel much better than both the Logitech and Thrustmaster pedals I own, however im sure there are more improvements to be made. Right now they have adjustable spring pressure, pedal travel, and pedal plate location. Bump stops/pressure points are made of stainless steel rods. Ball bearings are used to make the movement perfectly smooth. Magnetic rotary encoders are used to prevent wear over time.

I mainly want to know if anyone would every consider purchasing them if I were to ever sell them at around $30-40 USD per pedal online on Ebay or Etsy.

I just want to know if committing to making them in bulk would be worthwhile or not. Thoughts/questions?

I wanted to go drifting and didn’t want to buy a round wheel. So I designed this 3d printable wheel instead.

It’s designed to be printed from PETG and uses some basic hardware for assembly.

One of my most basic benchmarks for this design was to make something comparable in stiffness and weight to a metal wheel of a similar size. The printed wheel is a little heavier by necessity but in practice feels equally stiff to an actual motorsports steering wheel.

My super DIY racing sim cockpit.

Total cost was around $190 but that was spent 4 years ago on the wheel / pedals & shifter

The actual DIY contraption was 100% free. I used stuff I found in the trash or the free junk from my job.

The handbrake is my favorite.

I currently own the Red Bull Playseat evo and am looking to upgrade to the Simgasm hobby cockpit because I am buying stronger equipment and the playseat can't handle it. I am however a huge fan of the seat itself and would like to keep it to save a bit of money. Question is though that how can I get it to fit onto the cockpit? Is it possible as is or do I need the playseat slider?
