I really like what you’ve done so far. Anybody else who may not be quite as engineering, inclined. K tune offers a great billet shifter. It’s honestly kinda budget friendly.
ABS. Cant be PLA, it will degrade in this type of environment (heat, sun, cold, etc). But I use an enclosure around my printer to make sure nothing is cooling and that my parts have good layer adhesion. I haven't experimented with other filaments though.
Very good upgrades! I am very interested to see how the final "gated shifter" will look like c: I build somthing similar but with a sliding plate to cover the hole of the plate you talked about 👍
I have been working on one for a 2012 Audi a3. I have been using the 3D printed model for over a year but have broken the teeth off many times (on my 10th or so print). I should be cutting it out of aluminum on a water jet and seeing how that goes. We should dm and talk about his stuff
My plan is to finalize the 3d printed version of the shifter plate when it's perfect, then use that same file to have the plate CNC'd out of steel by a metal cutting service, such as send cut send. Unless you are making it out of thick aluminum, i wouldnt recommend it, as it might slightly bend if you shift hard or mis-shift into the fork.
Ive made progress but i am currently dealing with a wrist injury so i think it will be a while before i can finish it up. Hopefully by the end of the year
@@abdullahmohieddin I hope your wrist gets better soon. I know how bad joint injuries can be i had an accident and had injured my knee. It took me several month to regain full range od motion in it.
I already find that I need some good force to put the the shifter into each gear. Using a short shifter would make it even more difficult, and would leave maybe only a few mm of space between the gates. That would not allow me to install a shifter plate with forks that are wide enough (to be strong enough) to support the forces I will be applying on quick shifts. I also like the travel of the shifter, not too long or too short.
I haven't worked on it for a while, but I've re-started last week. Trying to come up with a way to make the plate holder, which is more difficult than I thought. Edit: found an easy way to make the supporting structure, i think by the end of the year
I can share a file I made with the top portion sized correctly (skeleton frame). Did you figure out a way to mount the plate to the shifter base? I'm trying to find some metal pieces that I could potentially bend to make the support.
Oh nice! I'll post the files I have for it in the description later today. Perhaps I can use your shifter base, then work on making the functional plate based off of that?
@@abdullahmohieddin what’s your email, I don’t have a supporting structure I have the actual gated shift plate. Which I’d be more than happy to share. What’s your email?
At :46 to 1:00 squirrel climbs up fence, perches on top and just starts watching you. 😂
I was waiting for someone to notice that 😄
I had to go back to listen what he's saying. My attention went 100% to the 🐿️

Thanks
Can’t wait to see the finished product. Hopefully soon 👍👍 and hopefully you can sell a kit for mr2 owners
This is brilliant. Subscribed so I get notified of updates
Thanks!
Fantastic work man 👍🏽 looking forward to see the next part.
Thanks!
Thats some serious work. Suprises those 3d printed bushing hold up at the base of the shifter
Thanks. They have 100% infill and are always compressed with no room to really "explode" in an outwards direction... so they should be good
@@abdullahmohieddin what kind of filament are you using for ur prints?
ABS. Cant be PLA, it will degrade in this type of environment (heat, sun, cold, etc). But I use an enclosure around my printer to make sure nothing is cooling and that my parts have good layer adhesion. I haven't experimented with other filaments though.
This is awesome! Super excited to see it finished!

Thanks fo sharing your process!

Great content!
How is part 2 coming along?

Why not use a straight short shifter?
I already find that I need some good force to put the the shifter into each gear. Using a short shifter would make it even more difficult, and would leave maybe only a few mm of space between the gates. That would not allow me to install a shifter plate with forks that are wide enough (to be strong enough) to support the forces I will be applying on quick shifts. I also like the travel of the shifter, not too long or too short.
Part 2 please. I'm trying to do the same
Soon! Maybe end of year...
@@abdullahmohieddinplease 🥲😂
Any updates on this ?

If you wana colab on this PM me I have a gated shifter already 90% done I just need the piece you made
I can share a file I made with the top portion sized correctly (skeleton frame). Did you figure out a way to mount the plate to the shifter base? I'm trying to find some metal pieces that I could potentially bend to make the support.
@@abdullahmohieddin I actually have the shifter gate piece all finished I was thinking about making a clip in piece similar to the SMT trim plate.
Oh nice! I'll post the files I have for it in the description later today. Perhaps I can use your shifter base, then work on making the functional plate based off of that?
If you could, I'd appreciate if you could email me a picture of your shifter supporting structure.
@@abdullahmohieddin what’s your email, I don’t have a supporting structure I have the actual gated shift plate. Which I’d be more than happy to share. What’s your email?
Post part 2 bro please
Working on it, I am busy with a few things but im thinking it will be done end of year
