Gear knob for Nissan Patrol

thingiverse

I converted my Patrol to manual transmission and needed a gear knob, so I made this basic JDM drifter/ ricer style gear knob in Fusion360. Designed to fit Nissan Patrol Y61 (a.k.a. GU), but also fits Nissan Patrol Y60 (a.k.a. GQ/ Ford Maverick).The thread is 10x1.25mm, so it may fit a variety of different vehicles. The thread is at the top of the knob so the knob sits down over the gear stick, giving the appearance that the stick is shorter than normal. I printed this in black PLA with 5 perimeters and 25% infil. Printed upside down so the top of the knob was stuck to the bed. I've only had it for a short time, but it doesn't look like it's suffering from the summer heat - (Australia, >35°C outside in the shade) EDIT: Just added version 2 which has a deeper thread. Version 1 knob would bottom out at the top of the gear stick and split at that layer if over tightened. I've also increased the diameter slightly: V1 30mm OD, V2 35mm OD. I still haven't had any issues with Esun PLA in the hot sun.
