Lollipop shifter

This is a remix of my original drippy ice cream shifter. This means the design is also made up of multiple parts with tight tolerances to allow the transfer of stresses between parts and increase overall product strength. The design requires the use of a M6x16mm (for the M12 versions.) or a M5x16mm (for the M10 versions.) cap head screw to hold the assembly together. The M6/M5 screw location is shown in the cross sectional image of the assembly. It is designed to cut its own threads into the gaitor clamp so that the screw stays positioned during assembly (the screw then mimics a stud). The flange at the bottom of the gaitor clamp is to allow for the possibility of the gear gaitor to be fitted over. This doesn't mean it will work for everything out there but it is what works for my car (MK3 Golf). Please start off by selecting the required gaitor clamp to fit your car and then select the M6 or M5 version of the top to suit. If you have a request for altered versions of the gaitor clamp to fit different vehicles, please leave a comment with the new thread and/or gaitor interface change and I'll see what I can do. Happy printing!

Print instructions:

General - print these components out of a material suitable for the in car temperatures that you will experience in your location.

Lollipop top - is the main bulk of the assembly so I would suggest printing this pretty dense to increase the weight and improve shifting feel. I personally printed this with 5 perimeters and 50% gyroid infill and it feels nice and solid and weighty. No supports needed.

Gaitor clamp - is the main structural component so needs to be printed solid with a material that you are confident you can get good layer adhesion with. No supports needed.
