here's an idea for next time, do the hand squeeze mold in the same epoxy material, but then 3D scan it and "relax" the 3D model before you 3D print it to get a potentially smoother end result

This was how I would have approached it as well. You scan clay that he's gripped, and then clean up the 3D model. Then you could print it out with a softer grip material or print out a mold and then add polyurethane grips directly to the carbon wheel.

One nice thing about squeezing to scanning to cad to something workflow is you can use all sorts of materials for the original mold depending on what you're trying to get an impression of. Low temp Thermo plastics like in sports mouth guards, medium temp like kydex, I got a pretty good scan of inside a shoe once buy putting a plastic bag in the shoe and filling with two part expanding foam and scanning that (after glueing the broken pieces from taking it out of the shoe.) Then you can smooth a lot of the surfaces in CAD either by editing the mesh or fiddling with the fitting parameters when getting a surface from the mesh. And finally once you have a CAD model you can make the part in any material. Of course that's a lot of talk that represents days of work and years of experience. Matt did that portion of the thing in a couple hours with the epoxy so... That's worth something too.

Or you could simply make the dildi from a lightweight, soft wood, such as balsa. Then have the driver hold the wheel in a comfortable position and kick him smartly in the nuts. You should end up with impressions in the wood perfectly matching his hands. If it isn't as precise as you would like, just repeat until satisfactory results have been achieved. All hail

Here's the real "pro" tip. But you'd kinda need to work with composites to feel confident enough doing it or just do a handful of tests. But I make my own home made epoxy putty for custom speargun grips. I use a thin RTM epoxy resin totally loaded up with microballoons and then add a bit of chopped carbon fiber. The microballoons will make the putty very light. So light that it actually floats, so it's less then 1g/cm3 and lighter and cheaper than any putty out there if you already have the "ingredients" around. The chopped CF add strength and takes the brittleness out of an only-microballoon mix. Mix it, let it sit until it goes a bit "green" and then you will have a workable putty that will hold its shape well. Oh! Use soapy water on the latex gloves and it wont stick to the gloves either.

As always great video, but since I make molded, custom grips for my spearguns I may have something to add;). If he wears race gloves he ideally needs to wear those under the latex gloves when making the grip.

As someone who is building sim racing and race car wheels for ten years now, this is a good first shot but there are defenetly parts to improve. First i would use a solid 5mm prepreg carbon fibre sheet instead of 2 plates and add super glue. The strength of carbon is based on different thinks but layer adhesion is one important and i am not trusting that super glue bond as much as a fully cured epoxy. Then you can cnc cut the step holes aswell as the regular go through holes instead of drilling them as you said. While drilling with dull tools, you will get a lot of heat into the matrix and that can weaken the carbon. You used high quality grayhill rotary switches but there are defenetly better buttons out there from APEM, OTTO Controls, EATON etc. The CNC cover has some nasty vibration marks on it. Maybe a clean up pass and sandblasting before anodizing would be a good idea for a better finish. Last you can design you grips in CAD and FDM print the grips for ergonomy tests. When you are happy you can print molds and just make your custom rubber grips. Add some holes to your carbon grip struckture and you are good to go.

If you make parts from two layers of commercial carbon sheet, you can get slightly better performance by orienting them at 45 degrees to one another when they are cut. This is because most commercial sheet is strongly anisotropic, it has the majority of fibres aligned in the 0 and 90 degree orientations (they will be in the same orientation as the surface twill which can be seen in the video of the parts as cut) so it will be noticeably more flexible and weaker when bent off these axes (minimumis logically at 45 degrees). If you re-orient the second sheet at 45 degrees and bond them together you now have fibres aligned on four axes so you will be closer to isotropic. Also, if available in the correct size, the diamond tipped holesaws used for tiles work very well on carbon sheet. I cut halfway through from one side, flip the part and finish from the other side and get multiple very clean cuts. The centre disc does have a bad habit of lodging in the holesaw barrel though.

If you can it's much better to cut fiber composites with carbide (or even better, diamond) tooling. If I had a lot of holes to drill in GFRP or CFRP I'd actually be tempted to use a diamond tipped holesaw, as is often sold for drilling concrete or tiles. If you need to cut up a large sheet, you can buy table saw blades with polycrystalline diamond tips (they're intended for working with MDF) that might do a good job. I happen to own a lapidary saw for cutting rocks, so I would probably use that with a diamond abrasive blade, this being a less scary option. The other thing to watch out for is the high rake angle of a regular twist drill will tend to 'pull in' and delaminate the layers of the composite. This can be avoided by 'dubbing' the drill, basically you get a small sharpening stone and grind the cutting edges back a few thou (maybe 0.2-0.5 mm in metric) so they have neutral rake, the same as you would do for drilling brass.
@brianb-p6586

Yes and no, most are built to suit most people and be usable in a big range of situations. As you start narrowing the field of who is using the stuff you can start tailoring the vehicle to suit. The standard steat in your car is different to a general racing style bucket seat and different again to something like F1's moulded buckets. Same theory applies to steering wheel grips, more surface area around the fingers means less grip strength required to steer, if the vehicle has less than about 220° of steering lock to lock then hand placement remains the same so you can optimise (vs your standard street car). For something you want to hold hard and firm the molding works. For motorbikes you generally want a looser grip comparitively, you need the mobility around the bars with your hands.
