3D Printed Sequential Shifter

Hello everyone and welcome to my channel.

In today's video I want to show you how I built my sequential shifter from printed parts.

Now it is not only an inspiration for the creators 😀

Good luck!

About the shifter:

The whole construction, except the handle, has been printed from PETG.

There are no springs, no ball screws inside. The solution that I introduced, you know well from the steering wheels, but I must say that I havn’t seen it in sequential gear boxes. If you have already seen something similar, write about it in the comment 😅.

I am very proud with this project and the feeling that have been achived because of this construction. The lever resistance is neither too light nor too strong. Two magnets was too much for me.
The volume of the shift was a little bit to loud, but I solved it by thin TPU barriers placed on magnet supports.

Carbon fiber imitation is not a sticker, but maybe how to get this effect on plastic parts another time 🙃.

The control board is nothing more than a zero delay usb encoder, so no programming skills are welcome.

Why did I design my own shifter?

First of all, I wanted a strong construction.
Yes, the printed parts can be strong.
Some people are not convinced of this technology or have bad expirience, but most of the damage to the printed parts is due to bad printing parameters, poor material quality or the model itself.

If you want strong prints, it's best to print them flat and assemble them from parts (like those that are cut from carbon - steering wheel shifters etc.)

Apart from that, I wanted a small shifter, a simple magnetic mechanism without springs, ball screws and without Arduino.

The whole story… 😅
