These are 3D model files of the button box & steering wheel hole adapter

that can be used with the Ecannon steering wheel and magnetic shifter module

which can be bought from Aliexpress at a relatively affordable price.

 

In my case, I used the Simube podium hub, but the original one might fit as well.

 

These are the list of what I've bought;

Steering Wheel:

Magnetic Shifters(actually needs a bit of lubricating):

Buttons:

https://a.aliexpress.com/_oCmSqJ2

Simube Hub:

Some insert nuts, M3 bolts, soldering lead, iron, etc…

 

And you need some JST 1.5mm 4P & 6P connectors, thanks to someone's hard work, which can be found with more specific information below:

So basically, there are 5 STL files from Part1 to Part5.

All you need to do is print them all, insert the buttons & nuts, solder the wiring, plug into the hub, and finally assemble everything in order.

I recommend using 6 * M5 25[mm] countersunk head bolts when assembling them.

Note: The reason Part 2 exists is to fit the holes in the steering wheel, which are slightly larger than the diameter of an M5 bolt.

More details are written in the README file, which is included in the zip file.

 

Please have fun! Thanks.
