You can 3D print a steering wheel for your Xbox One

Making stuff is fun though driving is tricky!

One of my favorite places on the internet is a site called Thingiverse. You can spend hours there looking for amazing things to print and sometimes you find one that catches the imagination, like this little ditty from user pixel2. It is a very simple yet elegantly designed rack and pin steering wheel to fit on your Xbox One controller.

I'm going to take you through a little step by step on how to print it and put it together so you can see how simple it is but before we go further let me offer a word of warning. This steering wheel is a fun idea that is incredibly well thought out and engineered but it is not going to win you many competitions or make you better at driving games. It's a fun thing to show off to your friends but it blocks too many of the buttons to be truly useful it can scuff your controller if you are not careful. Anyway, let's have some fun.

The 3D Print

Once you have downloaded the STLs from Thingiverse here, you can load them into your favorite slicer, I used Simplify 3D, and you should print them in the orientation that they arrive. It does mean using a fair amount of supports on the main clip but trust me, it's worth it to get the right strength for the parts.
