DX4C Steering wheel replacements

thingiverse

The stock foam on my wheel came loose, causing me problems when turning, especially with slippery fingers. To solve this issue, I created a custom wheel that would replace the original one. My first prototype was smooth to ensure it fit properly as a proof of concept. Next, I designed a version with 12 rounded ridges to see if it would improve handling. Although it helped somewhat, I found too much space between the ridges, leading me to create a third iteration. This latest design works perfectly in my hands and allows for a thumb steer attachment, enabling one-handed operation. This is useful for extended trail runs or recording video while driving. However, I haven't refined the thumb steer attachment yet, so you may need to adjust the scaling. Fortunately, it still functions as intended despite some minor issues with the top and bottom prongs not mating fully.
