An ergonomic, ventilated knob for the THRUSTMASTER® TH8S shifter in the sizes small, medium (recommended) and large.

Please don't scale the parts: The thread and the fits are sized for the THRUSTMASTER® adapter.

Have fun!

Elements

  • Logo: Sits recessed in the crystal, its stem locking the crystal to the shell.

  • Crystal: Faceted top of the knob, slides onto two keys on the shell.

  • Shell: Main body with adapter thread, ventilation holes, grip indentations, side rests and keys.

  • Collar: Lock nut with three grooves that fixes the knob's direction and hides the flange.

You also need the official THRUSTMASTER® knob adapter.

Features

  • Ventilated: 30% of the shell’s indentations are holes that lead into an air chamber inside the shell. An inner core with six ribs keeps the shell stiff.

  • Multicolor / multimaterial: The knob is made of separate parts, so any single-material printer can produce a multicolor and/or multimaterial result.

  • Easy assembly: The crystal slides onto the shell, and the logo presses in to hold it there. No screws, no glue.

  • Orientation lock: The collar keeps the knob from rotating on the adapter.

Assembling the knob

  3. Push the logo's stem firmly and evenly through the crystal into the shell.

Mounting it on the shifter

  1. Fit the adapter to the shifter as described in the THRUSTMASTER® instructions.

  2. Screw the collar onto the adapter, wide opening (skirt) facing down.

  3. Screw the knob onto the adapter.

  4. Turn the collar up against the knob and tighten it by hand. The knob can no longer turn.
