Explosive Shift — MK-II Tactical Shifter Knob V1

Explosive Shift — MK-II Tactical Shifter Knob

A grenade-inspired Thrustmaster shifter knob that doubles as a small storage container for tiny items.

💥 The Concept

Why have an ordinary shifter knob when you can have one with a hidden bonus?

Explosive Shift takes the distinctive MK-2 grenade-container design and gives it a new purpose: a custom sim-racing shifter that retains its small storage functionality.

🔧 The Remix

This is a remix/variation of the MK-2 Grenade Container by SkalouEe (@SkalouEe_378822).

Original model:
https://www.printables.com/model/463392-mk-2-grenade-container

I redesigned the main body of the original model to adapt it into a custom Thrustmaster shifter knob.

The small storage compartment is retained from the original container concept.

The other included components are unchanged from the original model.

Full credit for the original design goes to SkalouEe.

📦 What's Included

• Remixed Body — redesigned by me for use as a shifter knob.

• Small Storage Compartment — retained from the original container design for storing tiny items.

• Other Components — unchanged original parts.

🔩 Assembly

The included parts are intended to be assembled using the original model's assembly method, with the completed knob intended for use with the official Thrustmaster TH8S adapter.

Note: The assembly and fit have not been physically tested.

🗄 Small-Item Storage

The container retains a small internal storage space for tiny items such as small accessories, screws, or other little things.

It is intended for small items only, rather than large-object storage.

🏎 Why This Design?

I wanted something different from a conventional racing shifter.

The grenade-inspired shape gives the setup a distinctive tactical look, while the retained storage function gives the design a second practical purpose beyond simply being a shifter knob.

Shift. Store. Repeat.

🖨 3D Printing

The model is designed as a 3D-printable customization for a sim-racing setup, while retaining the original container's small-item storage functionality.

Please check for supports, clearances, and other printing requirements before printing.

🧑💻 A Learning Project

I'm still relatively new to 3D modeling, and this project gave me a chance to learn by taking an existing design and adapting its main body for a completely different application.

Instead of simply reproducing the original model, I transformed it into a functional sim-racing accessory with a second use.

Grenade container → small storage → shifter knob.

⚠ Testing Status

I do not currently own a 3D printer, so this model has not been physically printed or trial-tested by me.

Fit, assembly, printability, and real-world use have therefore not been verified.

I’ll continue improving the product and would really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or ideas that could help make the design better.

Please inspect the files and check dimensions, supports, clearances, and assembly before printing or use.
