Thrustmaster TH8A Shifter Rig Mount

Last crawled date: 6 years, 2 months ago
I needed a mount for my TH8A shifter, to fix it to my 8020/aluminium extrusion based rig.
The TH8As clamp mount wouldnt fit to my shifter support as it was made of 80mm wide extrusion, therefore I designed a mount which is strong enough to support the push/pull of the shifter being used but without moving the shifter too far away from the user.
Along with the printed part you will also need:
4 x M8 bolts 20mm long
A few suitably sized washers, if required (to stop you bottoming out the bolts in your extrusion)
4 x T nuts
4 x M6 16mm long bolts for mounting the shifter itself.
This model is designed with the holes to be interference fit, so if your printer is under sizing holes within models maybe adjust your horizontal expansion multiplier to suit, or do as I did and scale the model ever so slightly larger (I used 102% on the X and Y axis) successfully.
FWIW, I use a Motedis S-Dream rig but this will work with any similar aluminium extrusion rigs.
Any questions please feel free to ask, this is my first published model so happy to receive any feedback :)
