HOW TO MAKE A 3DPRINTED H SHIFTER FOR SIM RACING

Make a DIY H shifter for your racing simulator with 3d printed parts. This model can be customized to suit your sim racing needs. By designing a new gate and adding more switches, more select-able gears can be added. In this configuration it has 6 gears in total.

This is real DIY. It's awesome.

[@cliraxxx1121]

How did you print these 3d things? Did you make them your own?

[@serviu8455]

Most Underrated KZbinr of all time. Keep up your work man!!!

[@SpartanMJO12]

If you want to easily add a reverse, there's already a spring around the shifter; just add a gate next to the bottom right (the gate which corresponds to 1st) and have the entry point to the gate restricted to the height of the shift knob. Push down on the knob, push left all the way then push forwards.

[@Mattboy300]

This is really really cool! I've had my 3D printer a while now and I've always thought about making a 3D printed wheel setup with pedals and shifter. This definitely works for the shifter! I would love to see similar videos for the wheel and pedals. Thanks for making an awesome video!

[@MarkArmstrongGaming]

Love your content and channel mate shifter looks awesome

[@amstudioprojects]

Thanks Mark!

Thankyou!

[@ebakosman]

This video was five years ago and still the best one.

[@sityu82]

Again, thank you for keeping my design alive! Great to see so much love around it! Maybe it's time to design a more stable version :)

[@yipzone]

Great stuff, mate.

[@EddoWagt]

Definitely needs to be more stable, A 7th gear for reverse is also useful

[@namuh5799]

Dude if you would sell this as an kit or just the 3d printed parts, I would be super happy

[@arka5062]

no funciona, he gastado dinero en comprar todos los componentes y el sistema esta mal diseñado en su angulo de trabajo, respetando el paso a paso y comprando cada uno de los materiales especificados me duro 5 minutos hasta que se rompio, Lo siento no lo recomiendo

[@kr33f_za]

This thing is amazing. Had it printed.....something went wrong and some parts broke before it was completed. A more stable version will be great. Thanks for sharing this 1 with us all.

[@spy6ter]

gonna do this but with wooden parts. wish i had a 3d printer. thats one of the easiest yet effective designs of a DIY shifter.

[@tarickwilson]

I assume there's a steering wheel and pedals video to come?

[@jdalzell3354]

LOL

[@abujasm2223]

Yep! with a prequel called "How to make your own DYI 3D printer"

[@emilaugust2343]

Just 3D print a 3D printer, and return it to get a free 3d printer!

[@abujasm2223]

+Emil August Then use this 3D printer to make infinite amounts of 3D printers, and open a 3D printers company. then use all the money you earn to buy more 3D printers and order them all to print more 3D printers till there is a glitch in the universe :) . . "Universe.exe has stopped working!"

Well shucks, Looks like I am not spending a lot on a racing sim set up. Really glad I found your channel mate, ya just saved a brother some money. Definitely subbing.

[@rzyao64]

@Marsel Jurenec-Music there are some people that have printers but not rigs like me, i'm actually considering putting one of these together sometime

[@TheBlue028]

Fellow aussie here, another top quality video, love your stuff man

[@yipzone]

Don't even care if it works well or not, this is fantastic!

[@eaglewarrior8707]

It's actually all you need as a gearshift controller is not complicated.

[@charlesstiles8904]

Bro, I built on thinking it was gonna feel like a cheap plastic toy. That couldn't be further from the truth. It feels like a real car and it's pretty heavy with all the bolts and nuts, springs washers, bearings. I was amazed

[@Bambeakz]

My god! I just finished your seq shifter and handbrake last week and now I have to go again. Printed in ABS or PLA? Freakin nice work man. Very creative! I will find a way to combine this with a seq shifter option like the Thrustmaster one :)

[@MarinatedPasta]

Bambeakz theoretically you could just add rubber bands and make 3rd and 4th gears shifting up and down to make this into a sequential shifter

[@bluegill5192]

All you need is to put a different piece on the bottom so you can only shift into 3rd and 4th, but not fully just enough to get touch the button.

[@AlteredCarbons]

out of all the videos ive watched... this one seems the best and most economical as well

[@mortezazamani3570]

Your information about these is so better than other professional! 😏 👍

[@hdew12354]

Fantastic idea and project! I have no hope of getting into sim racing so no need for this but its just so satisfying to watch! Looking forward to more projects!

[@angeljoelfrancis9174]

I just knew that it wont be long before you make a shifter. Genius

[@draccus123]

For a less clicky shifter you can use some pads (rubber or cloth) below and above the spring to sit between the spring and the washers :)

[@freezlex]

I did it and I can just tell you Thanks bro! I replace the controler by an Arduino nano and now it's work perfectly !

[@illegalnights]

how did you do it with teh arduino nano? cause i dont have welder and the usb encoder would be perfect for me. do i need welder and extra cables to use the nano?

[@Claudio-gv2lz]

Dude you re the best. You could have kept this for yourself and sell it to people but instead you shared it with us

[@tato.2938]

if you were to sell this as a kit i would for sure buy it keep up the great work my man

[@zhxf3268]

TheNebraskanPotato these stl files are free for download

[@Razzman70]

That's if you have a 3D printer available.

[@tato.2938]

Razzman there is no way in hell that i can afford a 3d printer sadly

[@Ajg0r]

There are companies that will print it for you

[@shawnwilson2257]

[@darknewt9959]

Excellent as an academic exercise. Would last literally seconds when used in anger for sim racing.

[@MjkL1337]

yeah i think it can break very easily but there are ways to make it more rigid i would imagine.

[@andrewtsousis3130]

Really cool. loved your channel from at least a few years ago. Mate you could package these up as a kit and sell it, and a high-end version made with alloy instead of 3d printed parts.

[@Swanston33]

Amazing job bud your an inspiration to a lot of makers out there who want to build there own stuff and don't know where to start. That H-Shifter mounted with your HGV Range Changer/Splitter Switches and you have the Ultimate Truck H-Shifter. Awesome video. Take care

[@reminoel483]

Makes a sick Manual Valve body setup!!! Run each switch to a 30a relay , then use the shifter to manually shift a electronic shift transmission like a 4L60E or 4L80E 😏

[@lifeofasimrigmestizo6910]

Very nice, I get my A8 today. Very excited!!! Great video, take care homeboy.

[@byGiNeSiToX]

You are going the extra mile, You are going to get very big man!

[@Slavko_Husam]

Not his own design ;) but he makes great videos ;)

[@eaglewarrior8707]

No. Using brass bolts. And a metal gate. And a bolt that has been rounded and tapered at the end of the threads on the gear shift for great tactile feedback and smooth gearshifts are going the extra mile. And I think the gate is probably to big. Cause if you plan to get a taller gear shift stick. The throw will be greatly exaggerated.

[@eliasnaranjo9179]

This is absolutely the best diy KZbin channel, and I see that you now have a store nice. So now that you have fanatec gear, do you think you'll ever make a video using the cheapest p1 fanatec wheel and modifying it using an adapter to use any wheel instead of having to buy a 300 universal hub. That would be awesome if you ever did that.

[@dergrunepunkt]

Awesome build!, one thing I would change is the glue used for the switches, on hot summers that will come loose and fall

[@berkinyhr]

Actually, the printed plastic parts will start to soften/melt way below the melting temperature of hot glue.

[@BurningBroadcast]

Hotglue melts at like 180 degrees. I dont know where you live, but if your simrig gets 180 degrees celcius in the summer I feel truly sorry for you, i'd consider moving :D

[@mattefrnz]

thanks for sharing this awesome project . This is what i've been searching for a long time . Thanks a lot man !!

[@R0adx]

You actually made a DIY h shifter. What a legend.

[@mauriciocarrion6205]

I really love this DIY world

[@gusstplt]

hi, very nice ! Few years ago i have done a diy sim racing, and i think, there is one little thing missing on that H shifter ;) I think is missing a return to center on the left right axis, to make the moves more realistics. It, is not simple as a joystick. I my case, I had to use two jaws, one on the left that pushes the stick to the right, but not greater than the center, and an other jaw at the right that pushes the stick to the left but not greater than the center. Your locking system on the forward backward axis is really better that mine and in most of the other things. Mine was done with wood, and "polymorph plastic" molded by hand.

[@bryanjudefernandez2195]

i dont have a 3d printer but your concept is simple and effective. gr8 job. like from me

[@tuur-sn6vd]

I was one of the people that asked for this, thank you so much for making it! You're a fucking genius haha

[@KimNabi_cat]

Tony Stark of sim racing

[@xXKAROLXx03]

He's not dead tho lol

[@rainyclouds9846]

Not even his design. He just printed it and build it

[@swooty2805]

The opposite. DIY is for people who can't afford the real deal & have to build their own shit. Tony stark is just a rich guy who buys cool shit.

[@corn26489]

Rainy Clouds proof ?

[@slowmotionbetterthannomotion.]

Rainy Clouds proof ya bum?

[@SweetyVoltyy]

I suppose the driver needs to disembark and push the car reverse when need to go backwards :D

[@lucalanzi9345]

Add a Button/Lever/Switch on the side of the Shifter and assign it a button pin, then bind it as Reverse. Additionally, I would use an Arduino micro instead, so you can program when the car is not engaged in a gear to be in Neutral, just like a real car would

[@newolku]

I don't do simracing nor do i play any simracers but i still like your videos

[@christianstef9292]

Awesome job again mate , you make it look so easy and what's the the best it's that you do it out of pure Passion !!
