ABS Gear Shifter Sleeve Printing
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need a replacement sleeve for an automotive gear shifter printed in high-impact ABS. The part is roughly 3 inches tall with a 1.5 inch outside diameter and a hollow core that slips over a metal rod. The exterior has compound curves that must be reproduced accurately so the finished piece looks and feels like the original knob.
I can supply the actual part as a reference; I do not have an STL, OBJ, or STEP file. If you prefer to reverse-engineer or 3D scan it first, that’s fine as long as the final print meets the dimensions and maintains a smooth, uniform wall thickness. Internal tolerances need to be snug but not overly tight so the sleeve seats firmly without splitting.
Please print in ABS only—no post-printing paint or surface finishing is required. A clean, consistent layer finish straight off the printer is all I need.
Let me know how you plan to capture the geometry, the infill and wall settings you recommend for durability, and your estimated turnaround time from the moment you receive the sample part until the printed replacement is ready to ship back.
once tested for fitment and usability - additional pieces will be placed 50 to start
