I’m going to list you here good reasons to make your own 3D Printed DIY Sim Racing Pedals. The advantages are the same as for the DIY Sim Racing Pedals.
DIY Sim Racing Pedals: the advantages
SOLID AS A ROCK
Our DIY Sim Racing Pedals has been designed to support heavy loads (especially for the brake pedal), and in the exceptional case of a broken part, you can always reprint it.
EASY TO MAKE
Assembling this 3D Printed Sim Pedals will be child’s play, you will have no difficulty making it, and to help you, we have written a tutorial with complete and detailed documentation.
FLEXIBILITY
You can configure the pedals according to your driving style by adjusting the hardness of the pedals, the limit stops or the position of the footrests.
PRIDE
You will have the pride of driving with a pedal set made by your hands, and you will also be able to impress your loved ones and family.
SAVE MONEY
Producing pedals via 3D printing can be more affordable than purchasing pre-made ones, especially when considering the customization options.

Strength and Durability of your 3D Printed Sim Pedals
MATERIAL SELECTION
The strength and durability of the pedals largely depend on the material used. High-quality filaments such as PLA offer excellent strength and resilience, making the pedals capable of withstanding significant pressure and stress. Here are recommendations for printing 3D solid parts.
DESIGN OPTIMIZATION
3D printing allows for intricate designs with optimized geometry. This means that the 3D printed sim pedals is designed with reinforced structures that provide additional strength without adding excessive weight. The longest part that need to be printed is 220mm.
CUSTOMIZATION AND MAINTENANCE
One advantage of 3D printing is the ease of maintenance and customization. If a part of the pedal wears out or breaks, it can be easily reprinted and replaced. This ensures the overall durability of the pedal system is maintained over time.

REVIEWS OF THE DIY SIM PEDALS
“In regards to the 3D printed version I will say I try to beat these up so hard, I smashed on them, I really figured they would break they just didn’t in my testing.” – Shaun Cole (The SimPit)
BUILDING OF THE DIY SIM RACING PEDALS
How to make a DIY Load Cell Pedals
Would you like to make your own DIY Sim Racing Pedals for your Sim Racing Setup ? You are in the right place.This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions to help you build high-quality and customizable 3D Printed Sim Racing Pedals.
The building of this pedal is quite easy. If you love crafts and DIY, you will have a great time making it.
Very good and budget friendly project. Any question was quickly answered by author. I can recommend it to everyone
Great work 🙂 the 3d printed pedals are a solid choice! The build is a two pedal version, without a clutch. My T3pa pedals are like a toy in comparision. The whole project was a great experience and the support from Diysimstudios was more than awesome :)) any question was answered very quickly via Email. Highly recommend to do that diy project. Best regards and have fun 😉 Jonas
