TH8A 6R Shifter Plate

thingiverse

I designed it from scratch using ikbendusan's 6R shifter plate as an initial reference point for overall gate dimensions. Next, I reduced the 7th gate block by narrowing the R gate entrance slightly, improving shifting to 5th gear and guiding the lever in cases of mis-shifts with the 7th gear blocker. The main feature of this model is its flat top. Printing it upside-down with its top on the print-bed requires almost no support material, aside from the four screw holes. This enhances the final print quality and finish. Additionally, despite appearing slightly higher, the plate is designed to accommodate default screws without needing longer ones. Update: I added a 6-gear version without gear numbering as requested. After testing other plates, I found that most have varying distances between screw holes. To address this, I measured my own TH8A shifter's dimensions and adjusted the values accordingly. I only had transparent PLA available for printing, so photos may appear messy due to the color. However, I plan to fill in gear numbers with colored paint, which should not be necessary for other filament colors.
