It isn't exactly like the original steering wheel as I designed it to be very cheap to make, easily under £70 to make.
Should you embark on this project, you will need:
Araldite
AMstudio paddle shifters (magnets, screws, switches)
8 push buttons
4 rotary encoders
1 Joystick Board
M3 screws
A long USB B data wire is recommended
M5x1.5 countersunk screws (length is dependant on your setup
and a positive mindset

If your print bed is big enough then print it whole, but it is too big for an Ender 3 V2 print bed, so the 3MF file is seperated into parts and you must araldite the 2 halves together. Take proper safety precautions when using araldite
This wheel is fastened onto its wheelbase using a 70mm bolt pattern like what is used on aftermarket steering wheels.
If you are using Fanatec you will likely need an SRM Emulator
If you are using Thrustmaster, print an adapter for your wheelbase, there will be some on this site.
If you are using Logitech, good luck :>
To test the joystick board when it is plugged in, press the windows key and type 'joystick' and it should autofill with "Set Up USB Game Controllers", press enter and then click the device named "Generic USB Joystick" and it will show you which buttons are being pressed
This wheel is not exactly the same as the real thing, I removed some buttons and encoders so it is easier to build. I have left the F3D file if you want to remix it and make it a true replica
