Slim Quick Release connector adapter by mortenborge

Last crawled date: 4 years ago

This thing will add a 15 pin VGA connector to ebay Quick Release slim type for your simulator.
With vga 15 pin connector you can use the original cables plus an extra usb for a arduino card etc. so you can add buttons or a screen to your steeringwheel.
Print out in PLA or ABS
You will need to use a 6mm drill bit and make place for countersunk screws so they sit flush with the thing for the vga connectors, if not there will be no space for them.
Use 4 M3x8 Countersunk screws.
Use 4 M3 nuts to secure the 4 countersunk screws.
Use 2 M3x8 countersunk screws to connect wheelpart 1 & 2
If the screws dont fit when printed, drill with 2.5mm drillbit where wheelpart 1 and 2 will be screwed together, all other holes use 3mm drillbit.
To connect this to the Thrustmaster base, go to my basepart:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2781811
Shopping list:

Male and Female 15 pin VGA connectors solder type (RS232 serial connectors should also work)

wiring for the VGA connectors to the sim base and whatever you want to connect to your steering wheel, arduino for buttons, screen or whatever...
Update:
wheelpart 1 and hubpart is now ready for countersunk screws.
All files scaled correct (if you have the old files they need 1000% scale in cura)
Added a cable holder you can use instead of nuts on basepart, so you dont twist the cable, secure it with a ziptie
