Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

[Drayday55]

Hmm, that's odd. I see it in the Files section (called "Shift_Box_Lid"). It looks like I can't post STLs here, otherwise I'd just send it here.

I tried to open the file in the sub folder but my slicer says "no geometry found"

This thread started out with another option but beginning in post 41 became this open source version. Make sure you are going to the proper web page. The Shift_Box_Lid.stl file (plus two variations) is clearly on that page:

Ok. Got it. For some reason the last time I opened thingiverse it didn't show this whole list.

Thanks!

I think Im missing something, I printed the version with the magsafe slot and the lid built in, but the lid isnt removable? So how would I get the shifter in there?

I printed the version without the magsafe and there isnt a lid, so I can print that separately.

ok i think i figured this out, i used a step file that had the lid as a separate object and just deleted it and will print it separately.

How are you guys cutting off the tabs on the shifter to have it just drop in? dremel?

Hey, glad you figured it out, I'll have to fix that upload so it's not so confusing.

As far as the tabs go, I used a Sawzall like a heathen. Worked well tbh

Just wanted to let everyone know (especially @asianman35), that I've updated Thingiverse and deleted all the console variants that included the lid (both for the stls and the steps) and replaced them with lidless versions.

Now, you'll basically just pick a console, then pick a lid, then pick any accessories. I've updated the description on Thingiverse as well.

ALSO, I wanted to mention that the wireless charger was designed based on my iPhone 15 Pro (without a case), and it just barely fits, so just make sure you're measuring for your device.

Happy printing/tinkering!

If anyone wants some texture on their 3d print, here is a cool idea for the cap.

I did a quick sample print of the cap (just the top) with a carbon fiber textured build plate and Polylite ABS. Use the flat lid….print it upside down. Kind of cool!! Worked first time out

That looks sick! The extrusion lines around the edges almost make it looks stitched too. Very cool.
