Simracing 3d Printing Resources

G-Slev · Apr 16, 2021

I thought it might be useful to start a thread on any 3d printing things for simracing that you feel are particularly useful.

I will kick us off with magnetic shifters for the Fanatec BMW wheel. I printed these in generic orange petg last year and they have not missed a beat:

Fanatec BMW GT2 Wheel Magnetic Shifter Mod by hukdizzle

I looked around and could not find a decent solution that did not require permanently adhering an N52 magnet to the shifter paddle on the Fanatec BMW GT2 wheel so I designed a new one that does not require any permanent modification of the wheel components. This design will also move the paddles...

Neat idea, just for your reference you can now attach .stl's directly through threads on RD.

These cable clamps are very handy:

ZeroNilZero Sim Racing Cable Management - 8020 - 4040 - T Slot - Now 1515 - 15 Series Beta by ZeroNilZero

I have had great difficulty to find an economical twist in cable management solution on thingiverse. Most of the things I have found are sized for 3D printers as opposed to the 40mm by 40mm and 8mm T slot that you use for Sim Racing purposes. Hence I watched a few hours of Fusion 360 tutorials...

A sturdy cup holder:

8020 - 15 series - Cupholder by rothgar68

This is a cupholder I designed for a sim rig made out of 8020 series 15 extrusion. It uses 5/16 - 18 cap head hex screws with appropriate t-nuts to mount to the extrusion.

Only trouble with that is that some authors don't allow their STLs to be reposted elsewhere. Plus, by posting to the thingyverse or wherever page, you always ensure that you are getting the latest version of the file and can also tip the author if you like to support people

Completely valid points, I requested one of the site admins add stl as an attachable file extension so people like myself would not be required to register on 3rd party sites but can also share with the community. Just letting you know it's another option.

One of my recent shares.

Vocore Data Display Unit

Hello all, I have recently just converted from using a nextion 4.3" display to a Vocore display for my race data feed. I designed and printed my own housing which is compatible with Fanatec devices. I figured I would share these with anyone interested in using them. They have been designed to...
