I love my Thrustmaster 488 GT3 wheel, but after a year or so of use I am noticing a slight nerve pain in my wrist, and it seems that the shifter paddles being so far off the 'main plane' of the wheel requires quite the finger gymnastics.
Since I am not Fernando Alonso and not getting paid a few tens of millions a year to risk severe nerve damage, I designed a pair of new shifter paddles that angle inward and reduce the distance needed. They are already way more comfortable, and I look forward to seeing how they hold up!
Print parameters:
PLA filament used; but if you have something stiffer use that
0.2mm layer height, 6 walls, 5 top/bottom layers, 40% gyroid infill used
Paddles have slight flex after printing, so maybe a stiffer filament will help with that. However, in my opinion it is worth the compromise for the extra comfort the paddles give you.
