Quick release from racing to flight sim with custom 3D printed mounts 🏁✈️

Quick release from racing to flight sim with custom 3D printed mounts 🏁✈️

Hey folks,

I’ve always wanted an easy way to switch from sim racing to flight sim on my aluminium rig, but couldn’t find a solution that really fit my needs.

So, I designed and 3D-printed these PETG mounts — sturdy, adjustable, and easy to swap:

  • One vertical mount for the stick
  • One horizontal mount for the throttle, with a twist-lock bracket for extra security
  • All parts are adjustable on the aluminium profile

The stick sits between the legs for realism and practicality (especially if your rig is against a wall like mine).

In the video, you can see the Logitech X56 but I can adapt for many HOTAS, for example the WARTHOG :

Switching from sim racing to flight sim now takes just a few seconds — it finally feels like a true hybrid rig !

(If anyone’s interested, I can share more details about the design or where to get the extra parts.)

The stick sits between the legs for realism and functionalism (especially if your rig is against a wall like mine).

This one fits the Logitech X55/X56, but I could adapt it for other HOTAS setups too.
