Simple Handbrake (Sim racing)

thingiverse

I've made significant upgrades for all components. The lever is now significantly stronger, utilizing less filament (ensure it's printed flat). The case and cover connect more easily without the need for glue. When printing version 2, remember to include the v2 extension piece, as this one differs from the first one. Only the second version lever is compatible with the second version handbrake. The handle remains unchanged, working seamlessly with both versions. I'm excited for you to enjoy! _______________________________________________________________________ I designed this handbrake to provide a simple and space-efficient model that's easy to print. I achieved this by keeping things straightforward. The setup consists of a basic micro lever switch and a spring (20mm in length, at least 9mm diameter). You can see the arrangement in one of the pictures. The switch's cable can be threaded through the hole in the cover. There's also an extension piece available to increase the handle's travel distance. I personally find this feature useful and suggest you try it too. You can map the switch to any game function using an Arduino or a game controller. The handbrake can be attached to your desk with a clamp, just like I did, or you can print a custom mounting piece. The cover piece can be secured to the case using (super) glue, as I did, or 2mm bolts.
