Rig Report - Peter Winkler

[Deleted member 197115]

I went the opposite way on G9 by moving it up as it was quite difficult to see on screen dashboard and overall was blocking good chunk of the view, operating some UI items was also a nuisance as I had to peek behind the wheel.

@Peter Winkler : do you perhaps have the inner measurements of the Frex H shifter clamp? I've ordered one and might try printing something to help fix it to my rig.

 

[Peter Winkler]

can do - i mounted the frex with ALU brackets
73mm height - 80 width

 

[Martijn Wieling]

Thanks, did you add the metal plate below, or was it already there? Did you drill additional holes?

 

[Peter Winkler]

no and no
metal plate is standard
took out 2 black screws - too short
changed them to the silver one
and used those holes (they are used to hold the main elemts of the shifter) to mount it

 

[Martijn Wieling]

Excellent! What is the diameter and length of the silver screws you used?

 

[Peter Winkler]

m6 x 15 or 20
need to open it to share

 

[Peter Winkler]

took it out - m6x12 - but check your bracket
maybe m6x15 is the better option

DIY - encoder ALU caps

you know my steering wheels and you know that i love to push them towards a unique level. At my DIY encoder chapter i tried to show you a low cost solution. I use this technique for testing purposes only. PLA is a great material but the final wheel needs to have ALU knobs. And i have to say PLA costs some time and effort to make them good looking. In case you like to reach the final DIY step send your step files to a professional CNC guy. Take care, some companies ask terrible prototype costs, but if you start to search and build a DIY network you will find your parnter of choice. The result is outstanding and it will push your steering wheel into antother DIY level.

Top notch log and top notch rig, my friend. Gives me a bit of encouragement to see you say you went from a novice to this....seems like such a steep mountain to climb sometimes

I'll be following along!

Amazing, and I love that you're sharing.

I do have one question about that paint you used on your BMW wheel, that slight texture is perfect, care to share?

 

[Peter Winkler]

sorry, did not get your question - its a water transfer print

Sorry, should have said before the water transfer print, specifically this version.

 

[Peter Winkler]

that is no paint - called multi jet fusion print

By chance has Creality released one of these printers? LOL

Tactile - part06 - Behringer Fan Mod

some pictures - Behringer's are now silent - i would call it "ready for bed room"

used fan - https://noctua.at/de/products/fan/nf-a8-flx

Step 1 - grab some good tools - high qual screw driver and solder station

Step 2 - open your Behringer

Step 3 - look for fan connector and take it off - take care, glued to the connector

Step 4 - sold "old" connector to the extension cable of the new fan

Step 5 - fan assembly and test

Step 6 - mount air housing

ALTERNATIVE Step 3 & 4 - cut the fan cable without opening the glued connector. solder the extension cable within the Behringer case.

About to do the fan mod myself. Can’t you just pick the glue off and disconnect the old fan, then plug the new Noctua fan in keeping the black and red wires in the same orientation? The 3-pin from the fan plug will have an extra pin hole off to the side, with no pin in it, but still works. No need to cut and old solder any wires.

At least that’s the way I’ve seen the YouTube videos I’ve watched do it. Just trying to make sure my plan isn’t flawed.

For me, the Noctua plug was physically not compatible with the original Behringer one, so i had to solder the Behringer plug to the Noctua. Not a big deal though...
