Whats the best way to get the shape of Logitech g25 for cutting out dash?

(1/3) > >>

Boomslang:
Ive seen a few get near perfect cutouts or used mdf/ply and was wondering how you get the shape of the wheel for making such a cutout

Thanks!

vandale:
I prefer to create an adapter and mount the base inside the cabinet and connect it to the back of the shaft from the arcade wheel, then relocate the buttons. Doing a dash cut and fit usually looks poo in my opinion. If you have some good examples then flick them up as I haven't seen any

Cheers

Boomslang:
yes while I agree it looks better it is too much work for what im after. I had a brief look but this one was pretty nifty looking I thought. Im definitely not going down the route on making a longer shaft etc

BadMouth:
get some cheap foam board
cut out the rough shape, then start cutting out smaller pieces until you get it to where you have less than a quarter inch gap
hold the foam board against the wheel
use a pencil to trace around the wheel housing which will mark all the high spots
trim the high spots
repeat until perfect
use foamboard as template to trace the outline onto wood

pretty much this

or

get the mdf dashboard close, but oversized
tightly wrap the wheel in plastic
slap bondo in the gaps
sand, sand, sand

Measure 360 times, cut once.
