Description:
I tried printing out another shift knob design when mine broke, but none of them on here appeared to fit a focus ST. I spent some time completely redesigning it from scratch. I took measurements of the original and made sure there was enough clearance so that the reverse lockout remained functional. After several iterations of each part, I finally nailed down the design. It includes a lead pellet/powder holder to mimic the weight of the original and incorporates a M12x1.25 locknut for a secure hold.
Assembly/Print Instructions:
I recommend using something with more heat resistance than PLA. I only used it for the inlay while everything else is ABS or ASA. PETG or Nylon would work as well. All of my parts were printed with 4 perimeters and 30% infill. The threads might be too much of an overhang for these filaments depending on your settings. I printed mine with supports to be safe. Make sure you have have your supports tuned before you attempt this though.
