DIY Racing Sim Handbrake

cults3d

I like to play racing games/sims, and with limited space in my apartment, the best rig I could realistically fit is a PlaySeat Challenge with a Logitech G920. Naturally, I needed something compact that didn’t interfere with the folding of the seat. Since I play on xbox, I also couldn’t just purchase a generic PC USB handbrake. Enter the simple on/off DIY ebrake project! In order to wire this to a G920, you’ll have to be comfortable taking the system apart and soldering to the PCB. There are multiple videos on YouTube for this. This handbrake is made with a simple roller micro switch, a spare bed spring off my Ender3, and a few metric screws+nuts. BOM: Micro switch - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MFRMFS6/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_GTFFVXG94N1CRMG6114B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Spring - 21mm long by 8mm diameter (3d printer bed spring) M6x30mm (2) M6x10 (1) The handbrake mounts with 2x M6 mounting bolts. I’d love to see your mounted setups! If you have a Playseat Challenge, I’ve designed and posted a mount here on Cults3d.
