Fun fact: That printer has a Load Cell in it! On the front left of the bed there's a load cell to determine the correct Z-Offset to get a good first layer. After it meshes the bed and has a map/mesh of the surface it moves to the front left and slowly moves the tool head down into the print bed. The load cell starts to sense the pressure and before the toolhead damages the surface it retracts. This lets the printer know exactly how much to squish the first layer to get good adhesion. That combined with knowing where the bed is slightly higher/lower results in great prints compared to the older Ender 3's A lot of other great features: 32bit STM32 based board. Pretty similar to the chips running in a lot of Sim Racing gear. Older Ender 3's had 8-bit Atmel chips (Arduino) Dual (belt driven) lead screws - They're still driven by 1 motor but the older Ender 3 only had a single lead screw meaning the far side of the X gantry could sometimes droop and not be square to the bed and rest of the frame Linear Rods on the Y - The old Ender used V-slot wheels on extrusion. The wheels could get flat spots and wore away over time. Linear rods are more precise and help with the large moving mass of the Y gantry build plate, bed, carriage + print. This should result in less "ghosting" and artifacts on the Y Axis. DIRECT DRIVE Extruder - Whoo hoo DD! The extruder motor is on the toolhead on this printer compared to being mounted on the Z gantry on the older Ender 3. Direct drive often results in more consistent extrusion and less stringing. This extruder assembly + hotend are capable of melting filament faster and more consistent as well. DD Extruders can also print flexible filaments much better. Better cooling fans LCD Control panel Quieter and more quality TMC Stepper drivers Really nice printer and a big improvement over older versions of the Ender 3~
Great to see this kind of content coming out - I've 3D printed so many things for my rig - shifter mount, tablet mount, keyboard mount, long sequential shifter knob, beer holder, Stream Deck XL mount, cable management clips etc etc etc
Thank you Dan, a very informative and useful video. It is something I have been considering a good while to get a a 3D printer, but in my head I have never been able to justify getting one, even though I have quite a few things I wanted to print, various projects for my sim racing rig. I was worried it would be like a lot of things, used a few times and then gathers dust in a corner somewher. I think you and this video have made me re-evaluate getting one.
Love your channel and discord. I also print small spacers to fit in the horn buttons for Momo or OMP wheels. Also magnetic holders for usb cables to attach to the rig so they don’t hang down. Looking forward to this 3d printed series.
I've designed and printed so much stuff (not just) for my rig, the list would be long. On Cults3D I offer a "Universal phone dashboard" for Fanatec or Simucube/VRS-bases, a "XBox One Controller Buttonbox for Sim Racing" or "VR-headset & controller holder" both for aluminium profile rigs and other stuff. I've also printed for example my own keyboard- and mouse tray, windsim-case and -cover, holders for my loudspeaker or adapters for VR-prescription lenses. I've even printed my glasses frame after it broke with two intact lenses which saved me quite some money. I've also tried to fix one of my Buttkicker Mini directly to the HE Ultimate brake-pedal. In the end the Buttkicker was not 'mini' enough and couldn't clutch anymore properly, but it would work with a two-pedal-setup.
I own 3D printer for about a year now - my first project for sim racing was phone holder with led strip on top (2x 8 led) - everything i needed to start playing with simhub. Now I'm working on very specific type of button box with 10-position switch for iRacing Black Box so i can use ones on wheel for something better :D
I got a 3D printer for my racing rig and it's the only thing I've used it for. Great being able to design and print custom 8020 mounts for things no one sells a mount for. Also used it to design and make retainers for corner bracket covers that would fall off otherwise.
I have the same printer! Love it! I'm about to print a short spacer for my dd wheel. I'm not too worried about it failing, as I'm making it fairly beefy.
Now that is a video to my liking. I just got started to design the mount for that motor and it will hopefully fit the Simgrade R7 pedal. That one is a bit more of a challenge though. Besides this, I have printed a ton of stuff on my Prusa Mk4. My original Mk3 came as a kit. 30 bags of stuff and the best bag of all: Eine Tüte Gummibärchen... Cheers.
I Designed and 3D printed a variable monitor mount just cuz I was to lazy and cheap to buy the sim labs one. such a handy thing to learn CAD and 3D printer if you do sim racing or any hobby.
i think the main difference between a linear motor and a buttkicker is that the linear motor has a longer stroke, giving a sensation more akin to ABS impacting the foot, whereas a buttkicker has a shorter stroke, feeling more like a vibrator." The second reason is that the actuator of the Simagic haptic linear module, along with the counterweight, does indeed strike the pedal surface, giving the feet a sensation of being hit. The buttkicker, similar to a speaker, vibrates internally without actually making physical contact with the pedal surface, resulting more in a feeling of vibration." it is very cool,Dan,thanks
I bought a used Ender 3 V2 with a BL Touch auto bed levelling sensor and all metal hot end for €130. I designed and printed my own magnetic shifters (obviously not the magnets) for my 4 Thrustmaster rims, a QR, rim wall mounts and HOTAS joystick mounts among countless other functional things. Just those few bits for the rims & HOTAS would have run me €130 to buy online. You can get a basic 3D printer for €50. 100% worth it.
i´ve printed many things for my rig , button boxes ,mounts ,whole steering wheels ,diff. holder for psu, nobsound usbports ...... , endcaps, pedalplates heel plate riser shifter mods & etc..... 2 hobbys that goes hand in hand and btw even wheelside qr adapters can hold i had used an 3d printed wheelside adap. on my old ts-pc for more than 1 year and it never broke on the 6.5 nm even with pla. I wouldnt recoment it for a 20nm dd but a bit less power and it works
BEAT YOU TO IT!!!! I just made some adapters for my DC pedal set for the SiMagic Haptics and Fanatec dampers.... I'd post the pic here but UA-cam doesn't have that functionality :(
Is it possible to print new grips for my fanatec formula v2.5 with that printer? Im now really intrigued and i wanna build dashboard and stuff like that. Where can i get infos and stuff like that?
@DanSuzuki where do I find the discord page for the 3D Models to connect Simagic Haptic to VRS Pedals? Forgive me, I am new to Discord and 3D Printing 🙂 P.S. Love your Content!
if you would please post where you got the 3d printer file for the simagic vx pro file that would be wonderful! I bought these pedals based on your recommendation and they are GREAT! thank you!
Hi Dan ,do the rumble motors on the pedals also work with Heusinkveld Sprints ? Can i mount them on the sprint pedals ? Thank you very much and sorry for the english 😅
Hi Dan, I bought the Simgrade pedals based on your initial review. Is there a link to the 3d print file for the adapter to mount the simagic haptic on simgrade brake ?
Hallo Dan. Was kann man in iracing bei den haptic Pedals reactor aktivieren, was geht und was geht nicht? Iracing Unterstütz da ja leider sehr wenig. Kann man auch irgendwie beim Bremsen etwas aktivieren, was simuliert, wenn die Räder blockieren bei Autos, die kein Abs haben? Gruß
Omg im getting a 3d printer asap, i thought i was gonna have to sell my VNM pedals and replace them with p1000 to get these haptic motors, guess not anymore
Hi, great video.... I really like the look of putting them heptics on my VRS pedals.... can you provide the link for them please as I must be being dumb I can't see them??
Hi Dan new subscriber here just wanted to come by and say that I just tried your ACC profile on true drive for my Simucube 2 pro and it's phenomenal by far the best profile I've tested to date and will become my new default was wondering if you would ever consider making profiles for other Sims such as AMS2 or AC
I use the Asetek Invicta and mount two of this Simagic motors to my pedals. The Invicta are so stiff u barley feel something from the Haptic Feedback. Next step is to mount the motors to the pedal plate not to the hole arm. Maybe better feedback. Overall a bit overhyped.
I'm ready to pull the trigger on the Reactors. On the website it's written with huge red letters that it's only compatible with P2000 pedals. Is that for the warranty only, or there are some different versions of the Control box and the HPR's ? Thank you!

Wait, I don't get it. On stream you said you only had Simgrade VX-PRO on the rig while doing the initial impressions video and would probably buy P1000 instead, but now they're among your all-time favorites? So are they good or not?
They are absolutely great, yes! Definitely in my Top 5 pedals - but also: Yeah, I'd just get the P1000 nowadays, still - if you have the VX Pro it's nice to add some haptics to them :)
@@DanSuzuki Well, if you answered it like this earlier I might have bought VX-PRO, but instead the answer you gave and the lack of reviews in general was concerning, so I decided to cross VX-PRO off the list altogether. I'm still stuck trying to decide between VRS, VNM and maybe VNM Lite... Since I need my gear to be as quiet as possible, haptics are out of the question.
I've been thinking about getting a 3D printer for some years, and now you convinced me to buy this one. But then "Sorry, this coupon code is applicable for some specific countries or regions." Apparently, Hungary is not one of those specific countries :/
Are you sure about that? I opened it up and it’s a pretty heavy weight moving up and down in the tube - doesn’t look like a motor at all - no windings, no rotating parts
Ive 3D printed plenty of Fanatec stuff, a wheel wall mount, a DD Boost Kit bracket and a mount for a phone to use as a dash. I also made a ball bearing clicky upgrade for my Thrustmaster TH8 gearshifter
I genuinely need to know if Suzuki is really your last name lol. Definitely a great first name but I think you're pulling our leg with that last name lol.

That is so freakin cool :D Amazing what kind of technology you get these days for less than 200€ tbh 😅
I spent a ton of money on a Prusa Mk4 for a load cell. I feel like I got scammed😭at least I can say mine is on the tool head I guess...
Happy you like the 3D Parts :) Always glad to help the community :*
