This knob:
- Has a replaceable pattern cap
- Has bushings that fit the factory shift lever
- Has a boot clamp at the bottom to finish the factory leatherette shift boot, holes for 2mm socket head screws
- Feels good!
I printed in Matte PLA with fuzzy skin. The fuzzy skin gives it a perfect texture, hides all the layer lines, and gives it a good handfeel. It's also weighty enough to help dampen vibrations
The boot clamp clamps the factory boot on to the shift lever right below where the knob body ends. Finishes it off nicely.
I've played around with different patterns for the cap. This one has an arrow for reverse to avoid an island in the R. My idea is to revise this in the future to be backlit when the dash lights are on, and avoiding islands will help there. I'm sure there's a good font out there, so if you know of one let me know! Otherwise I'm going to slice and dice one as needed...
Renderings: .3MF in the next post. Tomorrow I'll try to get some pictures installed in the car.
