Material of the DIY Sim Racing Wheel
3D PRINTED BMW DTM STEERING WHEEL
As for the DIY Button Plate, I recommend PLA or ABS. For the infill, I recommend a minimum of 20%. Here are recommendations for printing 3D solid parts.

I was super intimidated by the electronics and the Arduino part, but the wiring diagram is literally color-coded. The A4 sticker sheet included gives it a really clean, professional look once it’s finished. Took off one star because I had to sand the shifter paddle housings a bit to get a smooth click, but overall amazing project.
Thanks for the feedback, Marc! Tolerances can vary slightly depending on the 3D printer settings, so a little sanding on the shifters is totally normal. Congratulation for completing your first DIY wheel!
Being a huge DTM fan, I had to build this. Printed the main body in PTEG with 50% infill and it feels incredibly rigid, absolutely zero flex on my 12Nm base. The open-top grip design is perfect for pushing GT cars around the Nürburgring.
Thanks Hans! The Nordschleife is the ultimate test track for this wheel. Glad to hear the build is holding up perfectly against a 12Nm wheelbase.
The 3D model and the Arduino sketch worked perfectly on the first try. My only issue was with the printable sticker sheet. My home printer automatically scaled the PDF to ‘fit printable area’, so the first batch of stickers turned out too small for the button recesses. I had to reprint it at ‘100% actual size’. A small warning about this in the PDF guide would be helpful.
Hi Juho, thank you for this very valuable feedback! PDF auto-scaling is a common printer issue.
Bought the pack for the STEP/DXF files. Used the DXF to cut a 5mm carbon fiber faceplate and CNC machined the rear enclosure out of aluminum. Everything lined up down to the millimeter.
watched the shorts on youtube and bought it instantly. grip ergonomics are good. code uploaded to the pro micro with no issues. bill of materials made buying the parts super easy. highly reccomended DIY project
Cheers mate! Stoked that you found us through our YouTube Shorts. See you on the grid!
Everything fits well and the wheel feels solid once assembled. Looks amazing on my rig.
