Replacement Flappy Paddle Gear Lever Pivot for Thrustmaster T300rs

thingiverse

Here's a replacement Gear Lever Pivot for a Thrustmaster T300 RS Steering Wheel. Unfortunately, my original broke and since there wasn't a suitable replacement available, I decided to create a new one by remodeling the part & posting it. The photos demonstrate the original piece, the 3D printed component & the part fitted together seamlessly. I've successfully printed this pivot and it does work, but it may require some post-print adjustments in order to fit perfectly. A few notable points to consider are: The two screw holes are likely slightly too high by about 1mm. The cross on the bottom side might be positioned incorrectly by approximately 1 mm, however I found that carefully whittling with a knife worked well enough during the test fitting process. A thorough sanding and smoothing session is necessary to optimize the fit. I've included the SketchUp file as I find reworking STLs to be an unpleasant task (although it's just my opinion). The pivot was printed in ABS, but PLA might also work; I'm just unsure about its long-term durability. Printing took approximately 23 minutes using Cura with default settings, except for choosing "Support Everywhere" to raise the bottom cross. Hopefully this replacement will be of some use or assistance to someone else, as it's certainly brought me a lot of joy.
