MAKE THESE MAGNETIC PADDLE SHIFTERS DIY SIM RACING 

I watch your vids but I don't even have a steering wheel

Plz make a video to make a sequential shifter with magnet, the feel are soo good

I'd love to see if you could make a full sim racing setup. (wheel, pedals, paddle shifters, gear stick, etc.)

you are the best

Best DIY paddles, using a remixed version for my Logitech. Make sure to print them 100% if you do lots of hard downshifting as the paddles tend to break if printed in PLA

For a sec, from your thumbnail, I was like "dayum!" thinking you were set to make sim pedals with realistic brake pads.

Leo bodnar is crying soooo bad right know

Nice work definitely making this for my DIY Mercedes AMG GT3 wheel:)

This seems to be some great shifters! Planning to get a 3d printer in the near future and design my own steering wheel button box and probably integrate these into the build.

I wonder how hard it would be to make some turn signals for like Euro Truck Simulator 2

Please make clutch paddles with hall sensors! I’m not good with cad programs yet, and its taking forever lol

Awesome bro, you made everything, but please make steering wheel

Hi, once we have the paddle completely finished, how can we use it? With an arduino? And how can i conect it?

I could watch him clicking it all day, that sound is so satisfying

Outstanding, keep them coming.

Very cool. I found this while looking for a way to mod the feel of the shifters on my g29. Looks like I'm going to have to innovate myself though

thank you sir

Can you make a in depth parts list or tutorial on the handbrake and drilling template (not the analog one) Thanks

Would you be able to make a video of inverting the pedals on the G29? i would love to see it!

can you make a video of connecting these ?

You really are the best. Your videos got me into the DIY world! I can't thank you enough for this!

thank you so much!!!

Is there a way anyone to make a logitech wheel retract to its normal spot when you let go of it? If anyone has an answer, please reply

16 people are anormal.... Like and suscribe

In the shifter folder download, there is only the f1 paddles and there are no longer the gt ones (longer ones)

Excellent video. Hope to see a WRC single push pull paddle in future. Keep up the great work.

Excellent Vid, haha and yes My Bodnar should be concerned haha - i am wondering if you may be able to point me into a direction that i could make something close to this, but using analog inputs - as i am a wheelchair racer, i would like to create a set of paddles for accelerator and brake, as well as gear shifters - could i just replace the magnetic inputs with an analog input? would appreciate knowing how, as i would defiantly create one for myself, and then adapt that to many wheels - cheers, and keep up the great video's - subbed

Bro, as always, perfect, i love how your projects are always so... "perfectly calculated", if u will, haha!!

The GT style paddles are missing bro in the zip file, bro. Cheers

Thanks im going to use this on my merc e320

What size should each compartment be? 0.1 m? 0.01m?

For any Aussies that want to make this, you can get a pack of 8x3mm magnets from Bunnings for $7 that work perfectly

bloody good!

Can you make this video private please? -Leo Bodnar Electronics

Loving the vids:) , but now a question, do you have a rough idea of how I could make a rally style SQ shifter used in the current spec rally-cars? So one paddle being used for up and down shifting .

Do you also have those Push-pull paddle shifter for Rally?

I know this is an old video but i was wondering if you tried using any other materiasl besides pla? I printed a set of shifters based off fanatec advance paddle module, and while they work great, they feel cheap and flimsly with a lot of flex. I was wondering if using something like CF-Nylon would stiffened them and make them feel more premium.

use this shifter now over a year and they work still like a charm!!! printed also a custom holder plate behind the wheel to mount them on a after market rim ;-)

Any chance you could create a static paddles mod? Seems really easy since there’s a dedicated place for wire to pass through the centre of a g29/g920 wheel With your expertise it be real quick as well

Is in the programm a review of the fanatec setup?

Switch those caphead screws with button top and an aluminum special washer to spruce it up.

HI how do you connect the wires to the controller board? Is it black red, black red for two shifters or black red, red black? My left shifter is not working, while my right is and I see the pattern black red, red black soldered in

Thanks for the video. How does the entire assembly get attached to the steering wheel?

what do you think about a hall effect swtich version? in the end you are moving magnets you would need to adjust the threshold and nearly eternal operation.

any tutorials to make WRC-style paddle shift?

Is works with PS4 too?

Can you do motion platform?? Please~~

Great shifters, thx dude.

Hello, how is the reliability of the switches that you used compared to Logitech paddle switches? Mine just started failing, so I am thinking to replace them with your paddles. The original Logitech switches have a minimum 1000000 of usages.

You can probably make the switch fully magnetic by using a reed switch tube instead of the microswitch. Reed switch is a small vacuumed glass container with two metal leafs that touch and close the contact when you put a magnet nearby. These things are quite cheap and more reliable than microswitches. They produce a faint click when the switch is actuated, so you can use that sound while placing the switch to ensure actuation. The next step from there, and probably fairly excessive, is the Hall effect switch, by using a Hall sensor IC and connecting it to ADC channel of a microcontroller or to a comparator circuit. The threshold will need to be calibrated. Also i wonder, is it possible to self-build an FFB system under $100? Using like a $30 sports steering wheel? I already have a 3D printer. I also have a bunch of STM32F103C8T6 USB microcontroller boards, potentiometers, switches, all these kinds of gear. The microcontrollers have 12-bit 10-channel ADC, so they seem perfectly suited to capture a lot of steering angle, but maybe optical encoder is the way to go on this - i don't know! How would you approach this? It doesn't necessarily have to be good, or better than commercial offerings, just like my $150 printer isn't good, but it has to be a decent starting point for further improvements. I tend to believe in self-building things rather than buying them when possible because it's a path to self-improvement and you can always fix it when it breaks and improve on it.

Hello amstudio, i redesigned your model to take less materials and to cover the excess of the screws going out of the bottom, i even made look more to a Formula 1 style. For files please give me your email address so i can send them to you

@amstudio How much is the thickness of the device?

Can you make a version of this as a replacement for the G27 paddles?

Can i put a potentiometer on it and make it an axis?

Can i put it onto Arduino steering?

Finally you spoke !

Magnets should be atrracting or repeling? Thanks

how how to make a racing wheel out of a controller?

Hello! Can I print parts whit the 3d shifter files? TY!

Great video describing the paddle shifter assembly. I do have a question about the nut-tab off the side you are holding at 3:25 in the video. Is that for a stop screw that limits how far the paddle moves into the micro-switch? Does this prevent bottoming out the switch during operation? Let me know when you get a chance. Thanks Again!

As allways.....great product in great video.

Can you in any way use these on a Logitech G29?

does this work with any wheel. ive a tmx wheel but have a different rim on it but i want paddles back?

I don't have a 3D printer 😭 looks good will have to find someone with one😊

Hey, can you please make a video how you make a key switch.

Can i buy this magnetic peddel shifter

Am stüdyo zfhjnbcdghhds 😂😂 (!)

For 3D printing, Do I need to learn both Autocad and Fusion360? Or just fusion360 will be enough?

@amstudio What about a Rally Push Pull Paddle Shifter??

I've noticed that all of your mods arn't supported by the Forza games. Is there a reason for this because its a bummer it won't work with Forza? Is it because the Forza games arn't considered sim games?

Hello @amstudio missing GT Paddle not found, im downloaded zip but have only F1 paddle.

Very Awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!

can this system used for manual transmission

Nice video, but it is not what I'm looking for. What about a paddle shifter "rally style", which works like a sequential shifter (you can press it in both direction) Actually I never see a shifter like this for a sim rig, so it would be a nice "exclusive" ;)

Hi, I want to ask if programming is needed to make this work, e.g. with an audrino? Sorry if I sound like an idiot

3d printed wheel with ffb DIY

So we have had shifter pedals. When are the hand clutches coming? Would really like to see that. I already have a diy formula rim with these pedals but i want some hand clutches too. But i have no idea how to make them

could this work for a g29?

Are these the same bolt pattern as the Ascher racing paddles? I'm trying to get nicer magnetic shifters than the ones I built but i don't know what other ones will fit my button box

when using a file you want to go over what you want to file not along it. pulling a file sideways will not work

add a 3rd magnet for pushing!

Can you make a Logitech DIY clutch paddles mod? I would really like to have these

Would there be a way for me to replace the shifters on a Logitech g920 with these as my shifters are broken?

amstudio I have looked on the 3d files page and there seems to missing part. The file for the shifter levers are not there. please help as I'm just waiting to print those out. Cheers and thanks in advance

I would have mounted the switch on the opposite side using the NC pin insteaf of the NO pin, it would make it more flush with the wheel after mounting

in having trouble with the shifters on a school project. When i import the bottom bracket file, i found that it was too big. did you have to resize it at all?

Yo I really want to make this and all your other stuff but is it compatible with ps4

very cool!!

En cuantas horas se tardó en imprimir

This is fantastic! Thank you so much for this video

Can you do video on how to make handbrake using ps2 joystick module and arduino uno?

and the program code????

Great

Will these work on a real car?

Can you design a WRC style, one paddle shifter? I haven't seen a wheel with that one anywhere.

thanks for this design i just finish printing and assembling mine and they have a super high quality feel

Nice :) more vids more diy pls

song please?

amstudio, it's possible to replace mechanical switch with reed switch or Hall sensor to make it more reliable. Optionally, spring with press screw can be added to have adjusting force.

where are the GT3 paddles?
