    I came across the SHH printed shifters today: http://www.shiftershh.es/en.html

    My first thought was that I had not seen a DIY version first, though I presume DIY 3D printed shifters exist. Do 3D printing members have DIY examples?

    Hi I have a SHH shifter and while I do like the feel the electronics were unreliable. He used a cheap joystick board inside it.

    I plan on installing a teensy in it to fix the reliability issues. Until I do this I have gone back to my Thrustmaster TH8A it doesn't feel anywhere near as good to use but is rock solid reliability wise.

    In saying all this I am not sorry I bought it as its a great shifter he just needs to work on the electronics side and that an easy fix for me.

    Switching between SEQ mode and H Mode is fast and easy and when mounted it feels solid with a good feeling mech.

    Here's a clever little H pattern shifter that someone has designed and posted on thingiverse,,,i dont reckon he was going for the real authentic clunk feel of going through the gears judging by his vid ,,lol,,,, but pretty cool for a means to an end though.
