I was watching F1 the other day and through the steering wheel looked like a steam deck. So I decided to turn the steam deck in to a steering wheel using off the shelf and 3d printed components.
- Auto return to center using rubber band
- Desk Mount
- Easy release mechanism for the steam deck
- Vents for steam deck
Almost all of the parts were copied from Troglobit's steam controller steering wheel. The only part I designed was the steam deck holder.
You'll need to print all the parts under the stl folder. Additionally you'll need the following:
1 x 150mm M8 bolt
1 x 70mm M4 bolt
2 x 50mm M4 bolt
4 x 16mm M4 bolts
1 x 10mm M4 bolt
4 x M8 nuts
3 x M5 nuts
8 x M4 nuts
1 x 55mm M5 wing bolt
2 x 8mm pillow block ball bearings
some rubber bands
I recommend some thick and strong rubber bands as the steam deck is much heavier than the steam controller. It takes a lot more force for the return to center mechanism to work properly
The assembly video can be found here. Instead of using the battery cover for the steam controller you'll be
