GT3 style rim for Thrustmaster 599XX

thingiverse

My Thrustmaster TX came with a 599xx evo alcantara rim, which I never particularly liked because it was too small in diameter. The shift paddles were also too close to the rim, and I wanted to try a GT3 style rim. This design is based on the rough shape of Fox_85's Mclaren 650S GT3 wheel but allows me to re-use the original Thrustmaster quick release and button box for now at least. The rim is 320mm (12.6") in diameter, and the grips are 42mm (1.65") deep at the thickest point. I have pretty big hands, and it's ideal for me, but this may not suit you if your hands are on the small side. It's also a fair bit lighter than the original 599XX rim, so the FFB feels a bit less muffled. That was an unexpected bonus! Fusion 360 design is included if you want to adapt it to your needs. Assembly requires M4x16mm cap head screws and M4 nuts (16 of each). It's probably best to use Nyloc nuts or apply a dab of threadlock if you're just using regular nuts.
