Simple to assemble pedal plate designed for Simgrade VX-Pro pedals, but can be easily extended to other ones. You will have to redesign the pedal mount extension, most probably switch to 8040 profile to accommodate larger sets.
This is base design that can be extended easily according to your particular needs. Used the Sim-Lab heel plate as I already have it, but you can switch to whatever according your preferences.
The pedal plate has space for 3 full size 50W bass shakers and is designed to be connected to rig frame using rubber dampers to counter vibration propagation.
This construction proved to be very stable, of course I could have used pre-made pedal plate but the whole design is meant to be as compact as possible and to fit properly on my rig between the actuators. It will be used with my rail adjustment system and sized according to it.
Using Alu Exrtrusion Profiles for this design allows me easily to connect all the extra accessories I have next to the pedals. Most important feature is the small length of the whole assembly which will provide better clearance for the pedal slider + motion platform.
Side shakers are mounted with the 3d printed brackets linked in the Connected Projects section, the heel plate is drilled to attach the third one.
Build info
Notes:
This pedal plate was designed to be used with my Simgrade VX-Pro pedals, which have very small footprint. Most probably you will need to make the extension mount from 8040 profile to accommodate larger pedals.
Simgrade pedals have bottom brackets that are one piece so do not need extra bracing for the base mount. With other pedals I suggest add more connector plates for extra stiffness.
If yo do not need shaker mounts you can make the pedal base shorter and use single piece of 40120 or 40160 Alu Extrusion Profile with 420mm length.
In thins implementation I used Sim-Lab heel plate as I already have it. You can use whatever you have or make your own. The Heel Plate mounts are adjustable to accommodate different heel plate widths.
The Pedal Plate is to be mounted to rig frame with 4 rubber dampers or other means based on your preference.
Print settings:
Only printed parts are end caps. They do not need supports or any special settings. PLA works fine.
