Racing rig prototype done | Update 9
After 2 months I finally got the racing rig prototype done! 🎉 Having waited for that long it felt like having a son 🤣… went to the fab and taped it. This was end of the cutting process: The assembly was fairly easy, took me like 30 minutes but with…

Read MoreAdjustment Demos – Cockpit Update 7

Just playing around I got the idea to throw a render of the playDesk 2 desk with a carbon fiber 3D vinyl like the one some use on their cars. I liked it so decided to add it to the playDesk 2 styler here. The styler is low res so…
