switch joycon Mario Kart steering wheel base - Upgraded Version (with steering wheel, with self-centering, compatible with Gen 1 & 2)

My child really enjoys Mario Kart 8 on the Switch

Previously, I bought a steering wheel on JD, but the immersion was lacking So I designed a base to secure the steering wheel

This time, I designed a complete version of the steering wheel stand, and I hope everyone likes it

———————————————————————

Inspired by the self-centering feature in MeltIn's work 'Nintendo Switch - Desktop Steering Wheel'

Coincidentally, I had a lot of small rubber bands left over from my children playing, so I wanted to improve the original steering wheel base to add an elastic self-centering function

I tried 2 or 3 versions, and this current version is the most suitable, with good self-centering effect

Required accessories:

Small rubber bands with a diameter of 2.5cm, like the ones my family bought previously

Description:

1. Using an interlocking buckle design combined with the previously designed steering wheel base, no glue is needed throughout

2. Only compatible with Joy-Con 1st generation (can't afford Switch 2, the family bank won't approve the loan)

3. Two angled steering wheel mounts are designed for you to choose from (1 is completely flat, 1 has a certain tilt angle)

4. The gap between the base and the body has been changed to 0.15mm (different materials have different expansion coefficients, previously 0.2mm, PLA Lite was a bit loose, Basic was fine)

1. Adapted for Switch 2nd generation Joy-Con controllers (still uses a drop-in method, the button design needs more thought)

Update 2026-4-2:

1. Created a simple button accessory, just clip it on
