Description

i designt it in 2016 in my apprenticeship,the original one from bmw was pretty worn out and so i decided to make my own one, its smaler from the height but also wider so it fits better in my hand, it is also knurled to have more grip the one on the pictures is made out of aluminium, the problem with aluminium is, in winter its COLD (i am not joking) but even worse in summer you simply cant tuch it when the car stands in the sun the bmw sign on it is from a bmw motorcyle that was customized so it fits flush as a inlay one thing that is not in the file is a slot that should fit on the lever so it dont rotate i damaged mine so its simply not in there i used rubberbands to hold it in place you can use the.ipt to customize it as you like edit 11.12.2019 i printed it out and it fits VERY tight so you dont need to use anything to hold it in place, i saw it made somewhere a mistake and its shorter than the original but if you need it longer you could edit it in the.ipt data in meiner ausbildung hatten wir zur zwischen prüfung eeeeextrem viel zeit und da mir der schaltkanuf schon lange ein dorn im auge war hab ich mir meinen eigenen designt, ich habe ihn kleiner und breiter gemacht als der standart e46 schaltknauf, so passt er besser in die hand, der auf den bildern zu sehn ist hat auch eine rändelung so das man nicht abrutscht auf den bildern ist der schaltknauf aus alu, das problem damit ist, im winter friert man sich die griffel ab (kein witz jetzt) im sommer wenn er in der sonne brät sollte man sich gleich einen notartzt rufen da einem die hand abbrennt das emblem ist wenn ich micht nicht komplett irre von einer 1100gs die radnaben kappe man kriegt sie ganz günstig im internet (der durchmesser ist etwas um die 39.5mm ) ich habe auch eine eine datei angehängt bei der es kein inlay gibt eine sache die NICHT drin ist ist ein sperr stift der das drehen verhindern soll dooferweise ist bei mir dieser schlitz beschädigt:( ich bin aber soweit mit gummibändern zurecht gekommen du kannst die Datei je nach bedarf beliebig umändern edit 11.12.2019 hab gerade bemerkt das autodesk noch auf cm gestellt war und die stl zu klein erscheinen hab sie nochmal umgestellt jetzt passt alles, edit hab ihn mal probeweise durchgejagt er ist bei mir pass genau auf dem gestänge und sitzt sehr eng, mir ist auch aufgefallen das er kürzer ist (5mm), kann aber bei bedarf vergrößert werden.
