Feel VR Pedals One mods

thingiverse

I found a set of Feel VR Pedals One on Ebay. In general these are decent pedals but I made some mods to improve a couple things and improve the look of the pedals. ### Enclosure I wanted to use a proper USB cable and have better access to the electronics so I made a custom enclosure. The design is very tight, but everything fits nicely. In the enclosure there is room for the main PCB board and a USB type B breakout. Parts needed: * USB type B breakout (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000216515466.html) * 2x M3 x 20mm bolt * 2x M3 nut * 4x M5 x 12mm bolt (can be a little longer) * 4x M5 nut * small wire to connect the USB breakout to the main PCB ### Baseplate spacers The baseplate is made out of very thin steel and is not supported under the brake. This makes the baseplate flex (too much). I solved this by adding two additional supports right before and right after the brake. So I have a total of six supports for the whole baseplate. This solves 80-90% of my flex issues. Its not completely gone but but almost. ## Brake mods I did not like the look of the chrome cylinder over the brake bumpers/bushings. So I started with making a alternative preload spring guide so I could get rid of the chrome cylinder. Furthermore, the yellow bumper is only 65 SH, this is very soft and I prefer a harder brake so I replaces this part with a solid (60% infill) PLA piece. I also noticed that the bumpers would move around a bit. This is probably due to the fact that the shaft is around 8mm while the hole in the bumpers is around 9mm. I solved this by using custom 3D printed washers which will keep the bumpers in place. ### Throttle mods I did not really like the shape of the original throttle pedal. I also think its too narrow, so I designed a new wider version. The design is loosely based on the design of the brake/clutch pedal so it fits right in. I used a 5mm aluminium sheet to make the pedal using a jigsaw. ### Final note I just made these mods for fun and to improve a couple things about these pedal. I hope my designs are useful to you and or inspire you to make your own mods.
