Summary

READ!!!

DONT FOGET THE 608 Bearing

NOTE: it has come to my attention someone stole this file and has uploaded it as their own here is the linke from 2021 when i created and upladed the file to thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4965126

So this is a remix of the very well known steering wheel for the Xbox and Playstation by Pixel2 go check his designs out!! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3049220

So Basically I became infatuated by this device, I printed several out for various xbox pads and my brother etc, A week or so ago I stumbled on a rally game for my Nintendo switch, which got me thinking I wonder if there is a wheel for the switch... Butttttt as its hand held most people just use it as is and I couldn't see one. The switch itself is quite wide and obviously no room for a wheel on the screen, I hated the idea of the ones you put the joy cons in to so it got my brain ticking.... Theeeen I had a light bulb go off, I remembered the controller mount the switch comes with for use with the TV, so my journey began.

Firstly I Created the Mount for the switch screen to Mount it on the controller which was not as easy as I thought, This Will also available in my designs Soon I will add the link when I get chance as I am uploading this first.

Secondly I Loved his designs so much but I just wanted a few little changes and an addition for a better immersive experience and I think I found the perfect addition (the gear stick) I altered his wheel and made the outer circles (thumb bits) more of a donut shape for comfort as I found the originals start to rub, I also changed the the size of his thumb stick mount to fit the switch, and I took the bearing fitting and added it to a custom frame I designed (many failed attempts).

I finally settled on this design and fitting it all fits very snug please enjoy this print and think of the countless Failures and hard work I put in before you beast me for something you don't like and instead if there are any issues please comment and if you have any suggestions I would love to get feedback .

Filament: Esun PLA Silk
Green                    
                        

Notes:                     

you can print it as a complete with supports but for best quality print separately because only the frame and gear shifter require supports, the one in the photos is a mix of both seperate and complete print as some minor adjustments were made surrounding the 608 bearing in the last build (an idea of the quality) 

I printed this at 210 witch bed temp 65 and a skirt with supports set at 10% density. 0.4m distance print speed 55 and .22 layer height takes around 2-3 hours depending on setting for the complete set

Post-Printing

Requires 608 Bearing

TIPS

• Print using most types of PLA for best results.

• Always allow build plate and print to cool down before removing.

• Please ensure a clean print bed, when models dont adhere to a build plate its usually user error.

• Please as always remove  supports with care

• Use sprue cutters to help remove supports

• If you accidentaly break something save fillament and use some CA glue instead of throwing a project out and reprinting.

• Remember this is a hobby! Have fun, be kind and support your favourite designers with likes, follows and boosts

• Once again thank you for taking the time to view and hopefully print this model.
