Lattice Grip Shift Knob, 2 VERSIONS!!! - Thrustmaster TH8S Shifter

This design is a lattice-grip, cylindrical style shift knob made for the Thrustmaster TH8S Shifter.

MUTLI-COLOR MODELS AVAILABLE!

I've always felt the cylindrical style knobs have a special place, and decided to combine that with a unique lattice grip texture.

The pattern is interwoven with the core of the shift knob, not merely placed on the exterior.

For the geometry nerds out there, I used a lattice structure applied to a cylindrical cell map to create the texture.  From there...a series of Boolean operations to get the lattice, core, and adapter piece where I wanted them.  Some modeling trickery that looks fancier than it is!

There are currently 2 different design versions: Gyroid and Square Diamond.

I created two variations for each: a single piece shift knob (1 file), and a two-tone version (2 files) intended for multi-color.

If printing the multi-color, make sure of the following:

• The two mesh files load into the same location.  You CANNOT print them separately and combine afterwards.

• If printing in multi-material (not just multi-color), ensure both materials have compatible print chamber temp requirements

Material: Pick whichever one gives you the best overhang.  I have successfully printed two-tone PETG, and PETG/TPU without supports (some brim material on the first layer perhaps).

Perimeters: At least 2.  Ideally, use enough that lattice pattern is all walls, no infill.

Infill: 15%

Brim: Yes; there is not a lot of contact area with the plate.

Supports: No (mileage may vary depending on printer and material combo...)

*Threads were tested with the official adapter piece.*
