This is a DIY F1 steering wheel of 270mm diameter with a cnc router cut in a 2mm thick carbon fiber sheet in front, and a laser cut in stainless steel in the back, the rest of the pieces are 3d printed. The mount is for thrustmaster, but can be adapted to any base, is connected by USB on the back of the steering wheel and is pc only.
The steering wheel is designed to install a 3.2 inch Nextion screen and an encoder for the buttons and 2 arduino joysticks for navigation.
It is necessary 6 buttons of 12mm and 5 buttons of 16mm, several head allen screws and nuts M3 and M4 of several lengths, 10 round magnets of 15mmx 2mm, 2 microswitch and usb cable, the handles are covered with leather.
