Shifting paddles for Logitech Driving Force GT steering wheel With Magnets

thingiverse

Remix of Mapes' Excellent Paddles mod for the Driving Force GT. I've modified it with an extra plate and cutouts in the paddles to hold 4x 18mm x 5mm magnets. The idea is the paddles have a reset force which makes them more secure and easier to feel when you are actually pressing them down. The magnets are glued in. I also added 3 holes for M3 screws on each paddle if you want to cut a carbon fiber sheet or design larger paddles you can attach them there. These are the kind of magnets, standard "fridge" magnet, got a set of 8 at the dollar store. I bet with better magnets you'll have a crisper snap feeling. https://www.amazon.ca/Magnets-Refrigerator-Projects-Experiments-Organization/dp/B07B9MPKLH/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549386280&sr=8-1&keywords=18mm+magnet Edit: I've also added a version of the paddles that can fit two magnets stacked together for extra reset strength. My crappy magnets aren't strong enough to reach through the plastic as much as I would like. This stacks two magnets on top of eachother and puts them closer together. The extra plate will need longer screws than Mapes' design. I used 4 10-24 2-1/2" screws, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1359631
