That is a noble decision you made for all Sim Racers!
Would buy the replica in a heartbeat if the prancing horse is in the middle

I love these threads so i guess i should contribute with my current collection:
I use Fusion 360 for 3d-work then print stuff on my wanhao i3. Electronics is a combination of ebay, bodnar and local dealers, i try to keep the cost down becuse im cheap
The most expensive parts is the QR’s. I ‘only’ have 4 of them so i have to switch between wheels, maybe i should do a QR for the QR?
There are some models already available

Nice, i had missed that. I will give it a try and see how it works. I printed some QR’s to my T500 and reenforced them with bolts, maybe i will try something similar with this.
3D printing a simucube adapter? It would have to be strong! 100% infill !
Depends on torque direction, I’ve done some stress test on cheap filament.
Even on 10% infill it could handle 100KG (biggest metal weight I could borrow)
After that I made a couple of prints I could test outside myself, 1 tyre of a 1800KG Renault van was not enough to destroy the models. Tested 10 to 100% infill in steps of 10%.
Pretty good then!
I’m using premium PLA at the moment and it seems quite strong, however i do have some carbon-T which is PETG infused with carbon fibre. That is really strong but i had to stop printing it as it kept clogging, also a 0.4 nozzle ends up at 0.5-6 after a while!
I have done a lot of machine changes since then so could print it again but not had a requirement yet.
Sim Racing Bay GT3 Wheel Lovely feeling buttons, good quality decals and impressed with Ascher shifters.
Registering about 40-50% strength signal with my V1 Ultimate, hopefully that won’t cause any issues … won’t find out until Christmas now as the Wife is wrapping it up to go under the tree
Nice wheel @Si-Po. I have been thinking that wheel also but 1000e is holding me:sweat_smile:. But is wheel stiff and feels like premium wheel?
Thanks for your thoughts, @Si-Po.
I’ve been waiting to see how this one compared to the alternatives and hearing this from a guy who knows his wheel rims is reassuring.
Yeah it feels fantastic. Has a nice aluminium case, hard to fault the build quality. Can’t imagine there’ll be any flex but I can’t test it until after the 25th now …
I cant stand those sharp blocky original grips
They’re not the best, I’m sure of that, but they don’t ruin the experience for me. And for 540€ VAT included, I find the F1S is a really good piece of equipment - as is!
That’s a nice one. I’m still researching the market for a compact multi-functional wheel. Is this from Sport Line and/or custom made? Any source in the EU for these wheels?
Talk to Johan at SSRG, he imports these sportline wheels in the NL.
Awesome collection Hank! On a side note where did you get those domed stickers from i.e. Ferrari and Skip Barber?
Arghh they don’t ship to Australia.
Any of you guys made a wheel for the new Holden and Mustang Supercars in iRacing yet? I am considering doing one…
