Replace (or upgrade) your USB Shifter top plate for your sim racing rig!

You can either 3D Print your own using the STL files or you can laser cut some out of acrylic using the DXF files.

(Dont forget to flip the model if you want the Print bed textured side to face up!)

UPDATE: I have added a second variant of shifter top plate for USB shifters that are different to mine. Let me know if there are any issues with this design or improvements

I have also added Fillets to the corners to help with shifting. (Thanks to lincomatic for suggestion)

I have included the typical configurations so you just have to pick the files that suit your needs.

  • 6+R
  • 7+R
  • 6+R+Switch (for those that have an extra switch)
  • 7+R+Switch
  • 6+R+SwitchMod (Moved location of switch to be flush with plate so there isnt a dangling wire. See pics for what I mean)
  • 7+R+SwitchMod

I started with a 6+R+Switch and found out I also had a 7th gear which was covered by the original face plate, so now I have a 7+R+Switch, but your shifter may be different

Anyway, if your curious to know how to get this shifter to work with console (Specifically PlayStation) then check out this.

How I Designed This

Onshape

I used Onshape to create the top plate. The measurements were based on my 6+R+Switch and the sketch contains all the configs so its a bit messy.

If you would like to modify the original sketch for your own configuration you can do so here.
