Compact Sim Racing Paddle Shifter

thingiverse

I consider this new shifter design a significant upgrade over my previous version. I've included a render of this latest design alongside my previous design, allowing you to easily see the size difference between them. My previous design is available for viewing on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4193571 This upgraded version utilizes space more efficiently and boasts a very compact base measuring just 23mm x 19mm. Furthermore, this new design incorporates a clevis pin as its hinge, which provides an upgrade over the dual screw method used in my previous design. A more compact switch has been incorporated into this version, enabling it to be press-fit into holes on the side of the base. This updated design retains the same 10mm diameter mounting pattern for M3 screws on both the bottom of the base and the end of the shaft, as well as the same size magnets used in my previous design. When printing the base, it's essential to ensure that supports are touching the build plate. I highly recommend printing with PLA, as I encountered difficulties removing supports using PETG. In some cases, when I was able to remove the supports, the pocket holding the magnet would be ripped out too. Similar to my previous design, a .step file has been included, allowing you to modify this design to suit your specific needs. The following parts are required per pair: 2x Omron Switch https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/omron-electronics-inc-emc-div/D2HW-BR213MR/SW728-ND/404511 4x 7/16 x 3/16 Inch Magnets https://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D73-N52 2x Clevis Pin https://www.mcmaster.com/92735a130 M3 screws and nuts are necessary for mounting the paddles and securing the shifters to the wheel.
