Development Updates
Tower & Peripherals – Cockpit update 6
I spent last week working on management issues like the mission statement I wrote about in my last post and think it worked at least from the inspiration standpoint cause this week I advanced a lot on the sim racing cockpit project. I managed to set locations for an ATX…
Read MoreNesting the parts – Cockpit Update 5
With all adjustment dimensions, steps and ranges definitions out of the way I started nesting the parts and redesigning them for nesting efficiency. Any racing simulator with this many adjustment options (if it existed) would use loads of materials so this was a big task. I’ve been working on it…
Read MoreSim racing cockpit – Update 4
All adjustment dimensions, gaps and ranges defined. Check out this side-cut view of the sim racing cockpit with markers on the location options of the three main input devices: I finally discarded the extra lower position for the pedals I was considering because it would be just too low. The…
Read MoreCNC racing simulator – Update 3
It’s been a pretty productive week and I made a lot of progress with my CNC racing simulator design. I’ve almost finished defining the adjustment systems and limits and I can confidently say it will end up with: 4 wheel + shifter depth positions – Standard ± 100 mm 6…

Read MoreNew project: Gaming Cockpit
A week ago I went visit my cousin (a cars fan and racing addict) to find he got one of those gaming cockpits / racing simulators. He added an awesome CPU and off-the-charts GPU, threw in the pedals, wheel and gear shifter (everything with force feedback) and he’s having a…
Read MoreDesigning a massage headrest
Sup everyone! A month or so ago I was contacted by a German customer who liked my playDesk design and asked me to design a 100% CNC, adjustable height massage headrest so he could make and sell in Germany. This was a challenge cause I had no idea of how…

Improvements include the redesign of the internal crossbars for way better structural strength, redesigned height levelers, a cut in the…

Having finished the first version of playDesk 2 (18 mm board and 118 cm desk) cnc gaming desk plans and assembly instructions I uploaded it and is available for purchase. I think this is a great improvement from the last design in both functionality and aesthetics. Check out the assembly…
