An extended shift knob I designed for a friend who is obsessed with all things SRT Hellcat. However, he finds that the knob is too short for his liking and that reaching so far down interferes with his driving. Being the awesome friend I am, I designed this longer and ergonomic shift knob with his favorite three letters embossed onto the top.

Supplies

Autodesk Inventor Professional 2025 was utilized as the design software. Followed with a 3D Printer to print the shift knob out. The specific material used was 3D Printer Filament.

Start a new sketch on the surface of the image. (Tip: holding down the ctrl key while tracing helps with tracing the edges and prevents the cursor from auto-snapping to an imaginary grid.)

Final Extrusion

Select the 3 outlines of the traced letters, and with the extrude function, extrude all 3 profiles each to 1mm deep.
