Creepyslacker boy I’ve seen someone do a DIY FFB wheel but it did look pretty tricky. What I’d love to see would be a budget/beginner wheel and pedal set without 3D printing or soldering. That would be a challenge, but really interesting to watch.
@@matijamodric1435 good force feedback systems these days run on the same motors they use to power conveyor belts, it wouldn't be cheap or easy to do without the right supplier
This seems to be some great shifters! Planning to get a 3d printer in the near future and design my own steering wheel button box and probably integrate these into the build.
use this shifter now over a year and they work still like a charm!!! printed also a custom holder plate behind the wheel to mount them on a after market rim ;-)
Best DIY paddles, using a remixed version for my Logitech. Make sure to print them 100% if you do lots of hard downshifting as the paddles tend to break if printed in PLA
Alexander Paschke I know this is an old comment, but you can retrofit a turn signal switch from a vehicle. Just use each signal wire from the switch as the respective keykinds in your game
You can probably make the switch fully magnetic by using a reed switch tube instead of the microswitch. Reed switch is a small vacuumed glass container with two metal leafs that touch and close the contact when you put a magnet nearby. These things are quite cheap and more reliable than microswitches. They produce a faint click when the switch is actuated, so you can use that sound while placing the switch to ensure actuation. The next step from there, and probably fairly excessive, is the Hall effect switch, by using a Hall sensor IC and connecting it to ADC channel of a microcontroller or to a comparator circuit. The threshold will need to be calibrated. Also i wonder, is it possible to self-build an FFB system under $100? Using like a $30 sports steering wheel? I already have a 3D printer. I also have a bunch of STM32F103C8T6 USB microcontroller boards, potentiometers, switches, all these kinds of gear. The microcontrollers have 12-bit 10-channel ADC, so they seem perfectly suited to capture a lot of steering angle, but maybe optical encoder is the way to go on this - i don't know! How would you approach this? It doesn't necessarily have to be good, or better than commercial offerings, just like my $150 printer isn't good, but it has to be a decent starting point for further improvements. I tend to believe in self-building things rather than buying them when possible because it's a path to self-improvement and you can always fix it when it breaks and improve on it.
About the Hall effect sensors, I know that the crazy-expensive Cube controls wheels (upwards of 1K for some wheel rims!), Hall effect sensors are used on clutch and shift paddles.
Great video describing the paddle shifter assembly. I do have a question about the nut-tab off the side you are holding at 3:25 in the video. Is that for a stop screw that limits how far the paddle moves into the micro-switch? Does this prevent bottoming out the switch during operation? Let me know when you get a chance. Thanks Again!

But Leo's work is second to none, and the price is reasonable considering the competition. I have built a few of Amstudio stuff amdnit is amazing but by no means is it long lasting in regards to electronics. but Leo's work will last many years.
amstudio, it's possible to replace mechanical switch with reed switch or Hall sensor to make it more reliable. Optionally, spring with press screw can be added to have adjusting force.
HI how do you connect the wires to the controller board? Is it black red, black red for two shifters or black red, red black? My left shifter is not working, while my right is and I see the pattern black red, red black soldered in
I know this is an old video but i was wondering if you tried using any other materiasl besides pla? I printed a set of shifters based off fanatec advance paddle module, and while they work great, they feel cheap and flimsly with a lot of flex. I was wondering if using something like CF-Nylon would stiffened them and make them feel more premium.
Hello, how is the reliability of the switches that you used compared to Logitech paddle switches? Mine just started failing, so I am thinking to replace them with your paddles. The original Logitech switches have a minimum 1000000 of usages.
@@maxbrown08 Hello, yes I am using them since last year when I wrote. They are great, the only problem I had was the quality of the printed parts, I had to print them with 100% infill for them not to break, also the magnets I use are so strong that I need to super glue them, but so far so good no complaints from my side.
what do you think about a hall effect swtich version? in the end you are moving magnets you would need to adjust the threshold and nearly eternal operation.
Are these the same bolt pattern as the Ascher racing paddles? I'm trying to get nicer magnetic shifters than the ones I built but i don't know what other ones will fit my button box
in having trouble with the shifters on a school project. When i import the bottom bracket file, i found that it was too big. did you have to resize it at all?
So we have had shifter pedals. When are the hand clutches coming? Would really like to see that. I already have a diy formula rim with these pedals but i want some hand clutches too. But i have no idea how to make them
Excellent Vid, haha and yes My Bodnar should be concerned haha - i am wondering if you may be able to point me into a direction that i could make something close to this, but using analog inputs - as i am a wheelchair racer, i would like to create a set of paddles for accelerator and brake, as well as gear shifters - could i just replace the magnetic inputs with an analog input? would appreciate knowing how, as i would defiantly create one for myself, and then adapt that to many wheels - cheers, and keep up the great video's - subbed
Loving the vids:) , but now a question, do you have a rough idea of how I could make a rally style SQ shifter used in the current spec rally-cars? So one paddle being used for up and down shifting .
amstudio I have looked on the 3d files page and there seems to missing part. The file for the shifter levers are not there. please help as I'm just waiting to print those out. Cheers and thanks in advance
Any chance you could create a static paddles mod? Seems really easy since there’s a dedicated place for wire to pass through the centre of a g29/g920 wheel With your expertise it be real quick as well
bonsoir chef dite moi svp je compte acheter le volant fanatec sans les roues jaimerai s avoir si c est possible de faire une videos pour metre un volant autre que fanatec avec adaptateur svp
Hi Can someone help me please. I got all the parts printed in my Ender 3 and all the parts came but the switches I ordered were the se as in the video but the company I purchased them off sent me 2A 125v switches instead of the 1A 125v switches I ordered. Will it make a difference using 2A switches instead of 1A. Sorry for such a dumb question but I'm new to diy work and electronics so any advice would be greatly appreciated, so Anyone??????
Brummie Deano I’m sure you’ve figured this out by now, but you’ll be fine. The amperage is the maximum current the switch can switch. 1A is overkill for this use, 2A even more so.
@@chriscrawford1555 Due to being so busy I have not been able to find this out although they work fine it is reassuring to know I'm ok and will have no issues so thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Loving my new 3d printing hobby and it goes so well with my sim set up. I have the p1 cockpit from sim labs and Heusinkveld pedals with a 20nm direct drive wheel so paying for shifters, button boxes and plates and many other things was a big burden after such a hefty outlay so any help in making my own stuff is greatly appreciated lol.

I'd love to see if you could make a full sim racing setup. (wheel, pedals, paddle shifters, gear stick, etc.)
I don't think the wheel would have FFB though

For what wheel?
thanks for this design i just finish printing and assembling mine and they have a super high quality feel
You really are the best. Your videos got me into the DIY world! I can't thank you enough for this!
Plz make a video to make a sequential shifter with magnet, the feel are soo good
I watch your vids but I don't even have a steering wheel
Well you don't need a steering wheel for minecraft
Jose Raphael Martinez same man
Same im buying a logitech g920 this weekend to do diys
99 of em don't have lol
@@Ady_Mih techno lade used one. R.I.P.
For a sec, from your thumbnail, I was like "dayum!" thinking you were set to make sim pedals with realistic brake pads.
Thanks for the video. How does the entire assembly get attached to the steering wheel?
Best DIY paddles, using a remixed version for my Logitech. Make sure to print them 100% if you do lots of hard downshifting as the paddles tend to break if printed in PLA
Bro, as always, perfect, i love how your projects are always so... "perfectly calculated", if u will, haha!!
Excellent video. Hope to see a WRC single push pull paddle in future. Keep up the great work.
Hi, once we have the paddle completely finished, how can we use it? With an arduino? And how can i conect it?
I wonder how hard it would be to make some turn signals for like Euro Truck Simulator 2
Alexander Paschke thats a good idea
Alexander Paschke I know this is an old comment, but you can retrofit a turn signal switch from a vehicle. Just use each signal wire from the switch as the respective keykinds in your game
Adam Major he has a video on it now
Do you also have those Push-pull paddle shifter for Rally?
Would you be able to make a video of inverting the pedals on the G29? i would love to see it!
Hurtle its the same as the other video he did about reverse mounting pedals
the same as a g27, there are lots of vids on youtube
Very cool. I found this while looking for a way to mod the feel of the shifters on my g29. Looks like I'm going to have to innovate myself though
4 years later did you find anything?
@@maxbrown08 played around with a few ideas but didn't really come up with anything good
@@DoRC ah ok was just wondering if y out made these and managed to fit them
Great shifters, thx dude.
can you make a video of connecting these ?
he has type in diy f1 rim. He shows you how to connect it to a Arcade usb controller. It's so simple
Egglezo
Nice work definitely making this for my DIY Mercedes AMG GT3 wheel:)
Is in the programm a review of the fanatec setup?
Can you make a version of this as a replacement for the G27 paddles?
Good idea, I will look into it!
@armstudio - Did you ever get around to this? I'd love magnetic shifters for my G29. Just not sure if there is enough room for them :/
Switch those caphead screws with button top and an aluminum special washer to spruce it up.
Can i put a potentiometer on it and make it an axis?

This is great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Can you design a WRC style, one paddle shifter? I haven't seen a wheel with that one anywhere.
Hey man great video have you maybe made up some shifters for deep dish wheel like this ??
in having trouble with the shifters on a school project. When i import the bottom bracket file, i found that it was too big. did you have to resize it at all?
does this work with any wheel. ive a tmx wheel but have a different rim on it but i want paddles back?
Outstanding, keep them coming.
Can i put it onto Arduino steering?
For any Aussies that want to make this, you can get a pack of 8x3mm magnets from Bunnings for $7 that work perfectly
In the shifter folder download, there is only the f1 paddles and there are no longer the gt ones (longer ones)
