Gear shift knob for Volvo V40

thingiverse

In my car, an older V40 from 1998, the rubber-foamy top of the shift knob became loose and required a temporary replacement. I attempted to support the inner profile by turning it upside down; however, this did not yield a satisfactory finish on the top. The first attempt used PLA for printing, resulting in a tight fit on the lever that needed considerable force to remove. Subsequently, wood filament was employed for the 2nd try, which offered a more comfortable removal but maintained a snug fit. Given its superior appearance, I plan to glue this second print as a replacement. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.
