The first shift knob is done! As I expected, there are a few tweaks to be made. Thankfully its all little tweaks to make it work just a little better. This one will work great as is though. The fitment came out great, and the seam doesn't even show much at all.

I just need to find some green paint for it.

So, lets see the pics already.

Top.




Bottom.




Hot off the table. Pen in the pic for scale.




And of course, here are the guts.

How much do you want for the 3-button version, Daox?

You can PM me if you want to work out details, I must have one now that I know they exist.

I was trying to price out the Martha Stewart branded filament, but couldn't find it quickly. The "regular" Makerbot filament was selling at Makerbot for $48 a kilogram at their site. Lots of different types of filament.

Okay Daox, I'm ready for at least a two-button version!

I installed the injector kill button on Turtle today, so I'm running out of room on the OEM shifter, lol!

I got around to wiring up my shift knob and installing it last night. The fit is very nice (IMO), and the button placement is good. I still need to paint the EM emblem on it.

Unfortunately, the switches that I thought were normally closed were not actually normally closed... So, I had to hold the button to start and run the car, and as soon as I let go it dies. That won't work. So, I need to find another switch that is actually NC, or put a NC relay in which is probably more likely. The relay is also a better failure mode device as it is more likely to fail in a way that still allows the engine to run.

Anyway, here are a couple pics:

I got some green paint the other night and took a first attempt at the logo. It came out alright, but not as nice as I had hoped. The paint was a bit too thick to lay nicely. The color is great though.
