Hello! Nice improvement that helps to feel steering wheel more realistic and also makes playing more comfortable for ppl with big hands. I think that change of ballbearings to bb bullets will improve the design, printable spring will also help to those who could not find metal one.
This is a fantastic idea and very well executed for the G29, G920 and G923, only if you are using the stock wheel, a very light car wheel or a very light printed wheel. It is not strong enough for an after market wheel unfortunately, or I am too rough of a driver 🤷♂ I printed it in PLA, PLA+, ABS, ABS+, ASA and even PETG, even tried a combination of different materials and they all break off against the wheel with the splined cup, the shaft holds up pretty decently in PLA+. I printed it with 50%, 70%, 80%, 100% and even changed my extrusion multiplier to make my lines a bit thicker on the infill. Some broke the moment I put my wheel on, others held up ok, but snapped off when I tried to counter steer. Its an odd feeling when you are mid drift and need to throw the wheel and end up almost throwing the wheel out the door, lmao. I have to add that I do not have the stock wheel though, I'm running a large deep dish Nadri replica wheel with a 3D printed hub adaptor and it is quite heavy. I would have loved to keep this mod on my rig because I'm a major fan of the design and simplicity, seems I would need to go back to my ol trusty solid printed hub adaptor. @diyengineeringprojects8499, would it be possible for you to send a link to the step file, maybe I can make the adjustments and see if I can get it to last on my rig setup ?
hey, can you please send me the spring and metal ball amazon links or wherever you got them from? I've been doing some digging and can't seem to find them. I'm asking you because it seems like you have the quick release all printed out and ready for assembly. thanks!
Hey bud, my wife had a spare container that had the required conical spring, so I used that. For the balls, I used plain ol plastic bb pellets, they fitted nicely, and required no effort to make fit, but I'm still at a loss in terms of strength. I started redesigning it myself with strength in mind for a larger diammeter and heavier wheel, but stopped design work for now due to some DIY house renovation projects me and my wife want to complete.
i got the spring from one of these containers (see link) www.amazon.co.uk/Airtight-Storage-Container-Containers-Organized/dp/B07SG95V3T its currently unavailable, but if you find something similar, you should be able to use the spring. For the ball bearings, i dont remember which ones i bought but just do a quick search on amazon and you should be able to find something that'll work.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback, and I'm glad you liked the design! Unfortunately, I no longer have the original CAD models for the hub, but I have a suggestion for you. You could try importing the STL files into a CAD software and convert them into solid parts. It's worth a shot to make adjustments and see if it better suits your setup. I hope you can find a solution that works well for your specific wheel and driving style. Good luck with your modifications!
@@diyengineeringprojects8499 Thank you buddy, I really like this design and want to make it work for me 😁 So I tried importing the STL's into SolidWorks as solid bodies (as I usually do when I edit STL's) but I had all kinds of errors with the import and the geometry was way off. It might be because we use the Metric system where I live (cm and mm) and that might be where the issue came about. To give you an idea, if I import the STL's and try to make an assembly, the parts do not fit at all lmao. I even tried to open it and resave as step file with Fusion 360 to no avail. What I ended up doing was taking the printed part, measuring and redrawing the part in SolidWorks trying to make the parts beefy and more solid. So far the parts I've redrawn and printed have been holding up nicely in PETG at 80% infill. The only issues I have still are: I need to edit the ball holders as the BB pellets fall out when I press to release them to go over the splined shaft And I need to edit the ball placement as well as I'm off by a large margin and the balls do not seat at all, but I will get to that once I have some free time again. Thanks again for an epic design bud 💪

If you find something similar you’ll probably be able to use the spring. www.amazon.co.uk/Airtight-Storage-Container-Containers-Organized/dp/B07SG95V3T
I have an idea, this is similar to a real life racing quick release with the plugs This setup seems can fit a t300rs steering connector which is also 7 pins like g29 Maybe this can make a quick release steering but with workings button (My English is not good so hard to explain)
Sure but this would complicate things. You can check out this video where i showed a simpler way of adding functional buttons. ua-cam.com/video/SoCb3fSsh_w/v-deo.html
Hello! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Unfortunately, I don't sell the product myself. However, you can take the STL files to a 3D printing shop, and they can print it for you. After that, you'll need to source the required balls and find a suitable spring to make it functional. This way, you can have the part made locally.
Very interesting but I have always 3D printed gear parts with 30/50% infill and the teeth always end up breaking or wearing out in less than a year. I think that where there is a lot of force it is better to use another industrial printing system.
That’s a good point but it also depends on how often you will be actuating this mechanism! I think for the purpose of switching steering wheels, this design is good enough!
Hello, is there a way to use the g29 buttons attached to the ring as it comes by default but using this QR, since I have additional rings for this same one?
Check that the ball bearing lock into the groove and that the collar is able to move all the way forward to lock them in that position. It could be that the holes are too tight.
A lot of people seem to have problems finding the right spring so I’ve just uploaded a video of an improved version with Stl files and links to all parts needed to build it! Check it out!
They’re probably M6 or M8. Not sure about the pitch though, from what I remember they had quite a course thread. Just search on eBay I’m sure you’ll find something similar
Hi, I have a question. When the wheel is lengthened with this quick release, can the steering wheel mechanisms not be damaged? and other question is the shifters are not very far?
I've been using my steering wheel with the QR mechanism for more than a year now and I had no issues with it or the G29. regarding the paddle shifters, i can reach mine comfortably but this will depend on the size of your hands!
Thank you! No i don’t currently own a Fanatec wheel so haven’t really looked into designing parts for Fanatec but it’s something that I could probably do in the future!
I know it been a while, but what settings did you use in CURA to print this? I have printed multiple on different settings. but the Shaft and Mounting plate wont slide together. Any recommendations would be great. I have setting set as of now 60% infill, and Super Quality .12mm, with supports on.
I dont see any problem with the settings, although I prefer 100% infill to give it some more strength. You can try to sand down the shaft diameter or modify it using a CAD software to reduce the outer diameter from 21.6mm to 21.2mm.
Hello i like your video and your work very much it is one of the best free diy quick release out there ! Can i ask you why the bottom shaft you split it in two pieces and you didnt make it as one? Thank you
Thank you very much Dimitri! I did that because the base has 4 bosses on the bottom and it was easier to print it upside down instead of printing it with support and then having to clean it. Those bosses are there to ensure the base doesn’t slip at all.
@@diyengineeringprojects8499 thank you for your answer i ll try it because its a nice and not very expensive diy mod . The only difficulty for me is the conical spring
Do you know any other way to buy the spring? I'm not too keen on buying the food containers just for extracting the spring from them. I've looked on amazon and ebay and couldn't find anything that's the right dimensions...
Hi. You can try sanding/filing down the shaft if it looks like its not that much larger than the splined hole. I personally used the standard quality settings and just change the infill and it worked fine.
i bought i quick realease hub from china that looks exactly like this one apart from being made out of metal. I feel stupid now because i have a 3d printer.
You can use the CAD models as a guide and look around for a spring that fits. I got mine from one of these containers i had lying around: www.amazon.co.uk/Airtight-Storage-Container-Containers-Organized/dp/B07SG95V3T
Hey i printed all the files and it seems like the shaft and the mounting plate just wont fit! I tried sanding the shaft diametar down but it still doesnt fit. I printed with the same setting s as u did
Hello a question i have cause iam thinking of changing my old quick release cause it have some play up and down and right to left ,and iam between yours cause i like ti the most from all the 3d quick release plants ive seen and a mettalic one. So my question is ,does it have any play wheb you push the wheel right and left or up and down? Not when you turn the wheel . Thank you
Hi. The mechanism is pretty rigid in the axial direction (up and down) however there is minimal play left to right, mostly comming from the steering wheel body itself. if you want to completely eliminate the play coming from the quick release mechanism you should modify the model of the splined shaft to slightly increase the diameter of the that is between the hexagonal base and the groove and then sand it down for a perfect fit.
Friend congratulations for your very top project I downloaded the files and printed, I ended up building the spring, but I'm not able to find the spheres in this measure of 5 mm where did you find it? is there any specific bearing or vehicle part that i can find them? Thanks in advance!

Not sure as I don’t have a G27 steering wheel. If you have one you could measure the holes and the distance between them and check with the model to see if it would work.
Con quel tipo di sgancio rapido devono essere accoppiate delle palette modificate non dritte. Che resistenza ha fatto con materiale plastico? Ci sta gia in alluminio x le auto reali.
Hi, there is no loss in FFB as the steering wheel diameter has not changed (so the moment arm has stayed the same, producing the same torque). Also the mechanism is quite tightly toleranced with very little backlash.
I would have to take apart one to say for sure but if the steering wheel of a Driving Force GT can be separated from the base then i dont why it shouldn't work! But most probably some modification to the mounting flange of the quick release mechanism will be necessary.
Thanks! Not really, as long as the weight of the new steering wheel is reasonable it should be fine. I just included it because i thought it would be interesting.
i want to do the same mod for my g920, but i want to fit a Momo Mod. 07 wheel to it, but i don't know where to get the mesaurements to adjust the side where you attach the wheel
You could google the part number for the wheel that you aren planning to use and get the spec sheet for it which might have dimensions on it. Alternatively, you could measure the dimensions by yourself if you have the wheel
Please remember that this mechanism is ONLY for gaming steering wheels! If you are planning to use this in a video please include a link to my video as a reference!
@@diyengineeringprojects8499 after i couldn't get the right spring i tried printing one wich worked sometimes but not all the time. now i decided to just buy the proper part for around 30€. but i really like your design
The bottom of the base with the hexagonal hole has some thin bosses on it and printing this part in 2 pieces allows me to flip the base for a better quality print compared to using supports.
It's a pitty, it doesn't fit with the G25. The G25 is smaller. 50mm between 2 holes oposit diameter. Is it possible to have the 3D file to able to modify it in Fusion 360?

This is a fantastic idea and very well executed for the G29, G920 and G923, only if you are using the stock wheel, a very light car wheel or a very light printed wheel. It is not strong enough for an after market wheel unfortunately, or I am too rough of a driver 🤷♂
I printed it in PLA, PLA+, ABS, ABS+, ASA and even PETG, even tried a combination of different materials and they all break off against the wheel with the splined cup, the shaft holds up pretty decently in PLA+. I printed it with 50%, 70%, 80%, 100% and even changed my extrusion multiplier to make my lines a bit thicker on the infill. Some broke the moment I put my wheel on, others held up ok, but snapped off when I tried to counter steer. Its an odd feeling when you are mid drift and need to throw the wheel and end up almost throwing the wheel out the door, lmao.
I have to add that I do not have the stock wheel though, I'm running a large deep dish Nadri replica wheel with a 3D printed hub adaptor and it is quite heavy.

Hi. You can try sanding/filing down the shaft if it looks like its not that much larger than the splined hole. I personally used the standard quality settings and just change the infill and it worked fine.
i bought i quick realease hub from china that looks exactly like this one apart from being made out of metal.
I feel stupid now because i have a 3d printer.
How long your fingers must be for paddles...
Personally, i don't have any issues reaching the paddles, but if you find it difficult you can always modify the design.
How reliable is it ? Won't it break apart if used with a direct drive (high torque motor) ??
I haven’t had one break yet (using the G29) but if you are concerned about the strength you could print it using PETG!
Hello again another question i have ,cause iam having problems finding the spring ,is what other options of srings i have to use ?
You can use the CAD models as a guide and look around for a spring that fits. I got mine from one of these containers i had lying around:
www.amazon.co.uk/Airtight-Storage-Container-Containers-Organized/dp/B07SG95V3T
hello great project I really congratulate you, I only have one question of what diameter is the spring needed?
Thank you. See Details bellow:
Small End: Outside Diameter: 30mm
Inside Diameter: 27mm
Large End: Outside Diameter: 39mm
Inside Diameter: 36mm
Spring Height: 28mm
@@diyengineeringprojects8499 do you have a link I can’t find it
Hey i printed all the files and it seems like the shaft and the mounting plate just wont fit! I tried sanding the shaft diametar down but it still doesnt fit. I printed with the same setting s as u did
You can use a CAD software to play around with the size of the shaft! I had the same issue with some of the prototypes!
Thanks alot! Are the files u provided the same as u used in the video?
Yes.
Hello a question i have cause iam thinking of changing my old quick release cause it have some play up and down and right to left ,and iam between yours cause i like ti the most from all the 3d quick release plants ive seen and a mettalic one. So my question is ,does it have any play wheb you push the wheel right and left or up and down? Not when you turn the wheel . Thank you
Hi. The mechanism is pretty rigid in the axial direction (up and down) however there is minimal play left to right, mostly comming from the steering wheel body itself. if you want to completely eliminate the play coming from the quick release mechanism you should modify the model of the splined shaft to slightly increase the diameter of the that is between the hexagonal base and the groove and then sand it down for a perfect fit.
Friend congratulations for your very top project I downloaded the files and printed, I ended up building the spring, but I'm not able to find the spheres in this measure of 5 mm where did you find it? is there any specific bearing or vehicle part that i can find them? Thanks in advance!
Thank you! Here is the Amazon link that i used for the ball bearings.

what do you mean with you builded the spring i still need the spring so i can build it together
Hi great job. I can not find fussion 360 files. Only stl files. Can you share fussion 360 - step files for editing?
Don’t think I still have the original files but here’s a link that’ll help you out
m.all3dp.com/2/fusion-360-import-stl-simply-explained/
Hello can you share step files? I want to customize cause i cant find the same spring, thanks!
the link to the files is in the description.
@@diyengineeringprojects8499 but its only stl not step
Degrees FFB with this mod?
Could it be installed inverted? With the section with the spring attached to the base instead to the wheel?
Yes you could do that! But make sure to switch the features on the base of the two parts so that they sit properly.
Hello, how Long are the screws and what material did you print with?
M5 Socket head, 12mm long. Material is PLA.
@@diyengineeringprojects8499 OK, thank you!
does anyone know who makes the storage tub for the spring? im trying to build this rn and i need the spring
The spring dimensions are as follows:
Small end: ID 27mm, OD 30mm
Large end: ID 36mm, OD 39mm
Spring height: 28mm
The link to the container I used is below but those containers are currently unavailable. If you find something similar you'll probably be able to use the spring.

@@diyengineeringprojects8499 Thanks for the link and numbers, ngl i didnt think i would actually get a reply on such a video that was posted more than a week ago, lol😅, my print worked out finnally but the bearing dont fit so ill need to reem out the holes a bit. to get the 2 halves of the release to fit together i needed to scale the whole print down and then print the female side much bigger than the male side but it works perfectly (other than the bearings of course). thx again for the numbers, much appreciated 😁
what parts are these, like what exact springs, and ball bearings and stuff?
i got the spring from one of these containers (see link)
www.amazon.co.uk/Airtight-Storage-Container-Containers-Organized/dp/B07SG95V3T
its currently unavailable, but if you find something similar, you should be able to use the spring. For the ball bearings, just do a quick search on amazon.
What are the measures of the spring
A lot of people seem to have problems finding the right spring so I’ve just uploaded a video of an improved version with Stl files and links to all parts needed to build it! Check it out!
Where can i get the spring, it's the only component that I need to build that

nice but looks so unconfy with the buttons and paddles so far... am I wrong?
Personally, i don't have any issues reaching the paddles. The buttons are a bit awkward to use but having the freedom to rapidly change the steering wheel is worth it for me.
Amazing work! , but wehere can i find the spring?
here is the link to the food container i sourced the spring from www.amazon.co.uk/Airtight-Storage-Container-Containers-Organized/dp/B07SG95V3T
How are you going to press the buttons
Like always
I don't have a 3d printer. How can I get one?
You could check if there’s any local 3d printing businesses that could print it for you.
@@diyengineeringprojects8499 ok thanks fpr tha info
Have you maybe modeling G29 blue buttons L1,L2-R1,R2
I do not but there are pleanty of websites with CAD modells, so perhaps look there and you might find what you need.

works for g27?
Not sure as I don’t have a G27 steering wheel. If you have one you could measure the holes and the distance between them and check with the model to see if it would work.
and it's very resistant, I can do it or I can do it with another material
Yes it’s quite strong but you could use whatever material you like.
Does it Work for g 923?
haven't tried fitting thi to a G923 but i dont see why it shouldn't work!
@ DIY Engineering Projects OK
D you sell these, would be easier for ppl who don't have access to a printer
No i do not manufacture and sell this mechanism but you could download the files and find a 3d printing service near you who could print it for you.
Con quel tipo di sgancio rapido devono essere accoppiate delle palette modificate non dritte. Che resistenza ha fatto con materiale plastico? Ci sta gia in alluminio x le auto reali.
I didn’t quite understand your comment. Could you please rephrase or clarify?
It's good but you gonna lose a lot of FFB
Hi, there is no loss in FFB as the steering wheel diameter has not changed (so the moment arm has stayed the same, producing the same torque). Also the mechanism is quite tightly toleranced with very little backlash.
Hello, do you have by any chance a file for g27 or g25? Thank you
Unfortunately not, but you could easily modify the base plate to fit any steering wheel using a CAD software like Fusion 360.
Where can you buy it and how much does it cost?
I have uploaded the STL files so that anyone can print and build it for themselves. The download link is in the description of the video.
Nice work, can it be adapted for a DFGT?
I would have to take apart one to say for sure but if the steering wheel of a Driving Force GT can be separated from the base then i dont why it shouldn't work! But most probably some modification to the mounting flange of the quick release mechanism will be necessary.
Nice video! thank you. Why is the additional wight for the adapter important tho? is there any limit in case I want to put a new heavy steering wheel?
Thanks! Not really, as long as the weight of the new steering wheel is reasonable it should be fine. I just included it because i thought it would be interesting.
i want to do the same mod for my g920, but i want to fit a Momo Mod. 07 wheel to it, but i don't know where to get the mesaurements to adjust the side where you attach the wheel
You could google the part number for the wheel that you aren planning to use and get the spec sheet for it which might have dimensions on it. Alternatively, you could measure the dimensions by yourself if you have the wheel
@@diyengineeringprojects8499 I have the measurements (70mm wheel hub) the only problem is how i can modify the file for the 3d printer?
@@marcomuraro9237 you can modify it using a CAD software such as Fusion 360.
how many kilos of compression must the spring have? Soft or hard?
Is it ok if I use some of your parts for building a vehicle in a UA-cam video?
Please remember that this mechanism is ONLY for gaming steering wheels! If you are planning to use this in a video please include a link to my video as a reference!
@@diyengineeringprojects8499 after i couldn't get the right spring i tried printing one wich worked sometimes but not all the time. now i decided to just buy the proper part for around 30€. but i really like your design
Hey man do someone nows what the name of the output if the white thing is on 8:00
Why file the two pieces? Why not just make it one piece? Just curious
The bottom of the base with the hexagonal hole has some thin bosses on it and printing this part in 2 pieces allows me to flip the base for a better quality print compared to using supports.
@@diyengineeringprojects8499 oh okay makes sense well I cant wait to try this myself
Can you use a different steering wheel with this set up or do you have to use the g29 wheel
Not sure, but you could try modifying the model to fit other steering wheels.
It's a pitty, it doesn't fit with the G25. The G25 is smaller. 50mm between 2 holes oposit diameter.
Is it possible to have the 3D file to able to modify it in Fusion 360?
You can find the download link for the files in the description.
do you have the CAD files for the shaft or is there a name for it?
I’ve shared a link in the description where you can download all the files needed to print this.
What spring is tha
I got it from one of these food storage containers i had.
www.amazon.co.uk/Airtight-Storage-Container-Containers-Organized/dp/B07SG95V3T
what material was used
I used PLA filament.
Can you share your print file by any chance I love this.

@@diyengineeringprojects8499 found it, cheers.
PLA o PETG?
PETG is stronger so go with that!
Is there the ding?
yup!
Does it dings?
