Title: Fanatec Wheel Wall Mount
Post by: Joe on July 12, 2022, 12:53:11 PM: Recently got myself a 3D printer so have been playing around learning how to use it. One of the things I printed was a quick release wall mount so I can put the wheel I'm not using on the wall rather than have it under the seat out of the way 8) 8) 8)

I think pla+ or abs is recommended for longer lasting and/or sturdy applications. Just be cautious hanging expensive, heavy equipment like this.

You just need to get a proper $260000 additive manufacturing machine. ;)
They can '3D print' in aluminium and steel. 8)
:P

Only $260k I'll take two.

Maybe your settings. I printed that mount with high infill (can't remember what exactly), and its pretty solid. When I print models to paint which I've been doing a lot of I only use 8% infill.

Post by: buellersdayoff on August 15, 2022, 09:30:11 AM: Yeah, not much infill with these parts (most likely going for print speed at the time) but also probably some cheap ass filament. These are just some of the things that have not held up.
You can see in those pics the sliced up pieces Fresnel layer from an old lcd screen which I'll be using for a diy bezel free kit https://imgur.io/a/PdfrtMG
