Heat Gear Shift Box

Free
Designer's Description

A redesign of LDub's Gear Shift Box for Heat .

Notable changes from the original:

  • Designed for mutli-material printing rather than color changing layers.
  • That makes this version flat on top and less filament volume.
  • No supports required for printing on either piece.
  • A small lip on the bottom for registering against the player dashboards.

Printing

Use 0.4 nozzle and 0.2 layers. For the multi-part lid, use a 0.3 mm starting layer and 0.2 after that.

Define five extruders and assign each one a color. I went with gray, black, white, light blue, and red.

The top panel model file is a multi-part 3mf so you can easily assign a nozzle/color to the parts as desired.

For the bottom part, there is nothing special about printing it, but if you differ too much from a 0.4 nozzle / 0.2 layers, the fit with the lid might suffer.
