I love this thread. It gives me great ideas. Now, I'm thinking about replacing my knob.

 

I wanna turn a sawn off single shot shotgun into a shifter with either a brass knuckle, pistol or grenade for a tcase shifter like this or maybe turned around

 

Mine looks like an oversized marble. Found it in an old truck b4 I scrapped it out.

 

 

I'm resurrecting this thread instead of starting a new one.

I have a 3D printer, and can print a wide variety of objects. Last night, I was able to print using ABS for the first time. I tried a shift knob as my second print with the new material, and it came out great (though a bit too small for my abnormally large hands)



I tried it in my Celica, and the thread fit great. I'm going to try making my own for my truck.



edit: the grenade is most awesome.

 

That shift knob turned out great, the chainlink mesh is a cool touch!..Have you made anything else?

 

I've made a bunch of stuff with the printer, just not shift-knob related.

If I get good at using the 3D modeling software, I might make knobs for transfer cases and other custom applications.

I would like to make a flight-stick style "knob", complete with trigger and buttons.

 

that would be sweet!

 

the stick in my 83 sr5 2wd

 

This pot metal guy came to me on a 1953 Dodge pickup I had in the early 1970s'.

He has been on many of my cars and trucks since. Presently on 'JunkRunner'

He might have once had some paint and rhinestone eyes, but those are long gone.

Light is poor in the garage, JunkRunner in for engine change.

 

The PO kept them but these antlers were on it in the pics he sent me.

 

made these out of old motorcycle pistons

 

The transfer case shifter is a 20mm casing from on of the CIWS mounts I work on.

 

 

raks88 Did you stretch the shifter on your 83 2wd? Can you give some details on it? I'm going to extend mine as well and yours looks great.

 

Found a use for my spare stinger ha
