DIY F1 Steering wheel

thingiverse

A Clinton Matos story: This is a DIY F1 steering wheel with a diameter of 270mm, featuring a CNC router-cut carbon fiber sheet in front and a laser-cut stainless steel back panel. The rest of the pieces are 3D printed. The mount is designed for use with Thrustmaster, but can be adapted to any base. It connects via USB on the back of the steering wheel and is limited to PC compatibility. To install a 3.2-inch Nextion screen and an encoder for buttons and two Arduino joysticks for navigation, you'll need six 12mm buttons, five 16mm buttons, several head Allen screws and nuts M3 and M4 of various lengths, ten round magnets measuring 15mm x 2mm, two microswitches, a USB cable, and leather-covered handles.
