1999 Honda Civic EX Shift Lever Ball Seat

I bought the shift lever linked below from Amazon as a replacement for my Civic. The original equipment shifter ball diameter is approximately 55 mm, but the replacement I received measures around 53 mm. Since a new lever that flops in the wind defeats the purpose, I created a replica of the original seat with the correct dimensions. Two options are available: the "OE" style (ball_spring), and a solid version (half_solid). I chose the solid version because it is less prone to layer separation. Although I included the other option for those who might prefer it, the solid design is simpler to print since it requires only two copies. The rubber boot that covers the seat will naturally hold everything together. For installation, I used the grease shown in the pictures. Besides this design flaw, the shift lever itself performs well.
