DESCRIPTION

Elevate your vehicle or simulator setup with this complete bundle of five upgraded golfball-style shift knobs, engineered for 3D printing and digital fabrication in multiple formats (STL, OBJ, GLB, SVG).

Building on the original one-piece design, this modular edition separates the main knob body from the gear-pattern insert, enabling multimaterial printing and unique customization. Each knob retains the retro golfball-inspired dimpled texture for enhanced grip, while the detachable insert features one of five authentic gear layouts. Inserts are press-fit and bonded with adhesive, ensuring a flush, durable finish.

Designed for both real cars and sim racing setups, this bundle offers maximum versatility, realism, and personalization.
