2 pointsBeen playing with metal laser sintered 3D printers lately and wanted to create a stainless 240Z gearknob. Went through a number of iterations and ended up with this design. It's the same size and shape as the original 1970 240Z 4 speed one. Will be running the first metal prints next week, will be interesting to see how it turns out. 3 Z logos are engraved on the main part of the body, the original gearchange pattern is enlarged in size to print more cleanly than the original smaller one.

2 points@Patcon the exterior will print smooth, it's a graphics display issue and how SolidWorks saves the .stl file. When you slice it for printing the surface is rendered smoothly. Will post a picture of the first sample print when it's done, I'll do a trial piece in laser sintered nylon first. This is a sample off the Prusa 3D printer in SLA, much smoother than the graphic rendering. With laser sintering it uses powder to print the object so the layer lines and polygons are smoothed out. These are for my own use, I have no plans to sell them.

Sure I'm open to suggestions!! The T/C rod stuff looks fine. They are snug and there is rubber in there. And about the locks... Early car single sided keys, and yes, he doors, hatch, and even the glove box work!

1 pointThis happens a lot at car shows I attend that are Ford Chevy Dodge shows. A lot of people have a Z story and then I end up with an award. I go to the Z car shows and am poo poo'ed for having a driver. with a little rust. I suppose it is all relative to who ia at what show.1 point
