Playseat Challenge steering bar pin

The original design is excellent but because of the way this is printed vertically, the layers may separate during use given enough force. Once the pin is pushed into the tube it is very difficult to remove so I decided to go above and beyond to ensure this fix is permanent. This remix allows a 50mm (55mm with head) [M5 cap head bolt/screw](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360835494845) and nut to run through the centre of the pin for added strength. The tolerance of the M5 bolt hole is tight to allow it to be drilled out to exactly 5mm for a snug fit. The hole for the bolt head and nut trap are slightly oversized and should require no post-processing with a well calibrated printer. The orientation of the bolt head and nut is such that you can remove the bolt once the pin has been pushed into the tube and may help with removal of the pin if you ever needed to. Be aware though that the nut will likely fall out of the trap if you remove the bolt. There is also a temporary 0.2mm plane covering the bolt head hole to allow a bridge to be printed and the bolt hole to be printed on top. This should be removed while drilling the hole out to 5mm. I have not uploaded the other part of this 'thing' because I haven't made any changes to it so you will need to download the other part from the original creator. I am so happy with the result of this excellent solution to the wobble I was experiencing with my playseat, it has completely solved the issue and feels very sturdy now.
