Playseat Challenge Gear Shifter Mount G29

thingiverse

I'm making my own gear shifter mount for the Playseat Challenge, which will cost me around £30 if I were to buy one from a store. To save money, I decided to create my own design that can be placed exactly where I want it. The new mount is incredibly robust when printed with carbon fiber filament, allowing me to apply significant torque to the M7 nuts and M4 screw bolts. These components are surprisingly inexpensive, as I found them at a £1 shop for a laugh. To speed up the printing process, I attached a piece of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) to extend the mount's length, eliminating the need to print a single long part with expensive filament. For added grip on the Playseat Challenge post, I placed a thin layer of cardboard behind the mount. The mount itself has a diameter of 22mm, providing an extremely tight fit. Unfortunately, my initial test run using PLA filament resulted in a surprisingly weak structure. To improve this, I've split the mount into two separate STL files: one for the hex nut side and another for the bolt side.
