Gear knob for Nissan Patrol

thingiverse

I converted my Patrol to manual transmission and needed a gear knob so I designed 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 sits at the top of the knob, giving the appearance that the gear stick is shorter than normal. I printed this in black PLA with five perimeters and twenty-five percent infill. Printed upside down so the bottom of the knob 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, more than thirty-five degrees Celsius outside in the shade. Just added version two which has a deeper thread. Version one 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 thirty millimeter OD, V2 thirty-five millimeter OD. Still haven't had any issues with Esun PLA in the hot sun.
