Joy Con Steering Wheel High Res - Nintendo Switch Mario Kart

thingiverse

An easy-to-print design that really makes you feel like you're behind the wheel when playing a game of Mario Kart on Nintendo Switch! I wanted a design that: - was nearly a full circle steering wheel - could be printed easily, with minimum supports (no supports are needed for the "top" model, and supports are only needed for the center section of the "bottom" model) - was a high resolution model, so you can't see individual polygons when you print it and it feels smooth - was printed "upright," which I think provides for the cleanest shape and smoothest texture on the area you hold - had a reasonably thick grip (without being so large as to waste a bunch of filament) so that it feels right in your hands The model comes in 2 pieces so that it can be printed upright. I intended the pieces to be screwed together with 2 of 2-inch screws (sizes #8, #9, or #10 should be fine), but using a strong glue would probably also work. Their are two sizes of the model: the large model feels a little closer to a real steering wheel, while the medium model makes it a bit easier to reach the buttons. I sometimes have problems with print bed adhesion with tall prints like this with relatively small area stuck on the print bed, hence my versions with "tabs" attached. Have fun printing and playing with this model! Enjoy!
