Hmm.. As a student, I have free access to a CNC milling machine hooked up to autocad. One of my friends is trying to make a short shifter from a block of aluminum..
Is it legal/ethical? to take a short shifter design... sayy.. the TRD design, and make an autocad file out of it - then mill your own? Is it easy/possible to make the 3d model of the shortshifter just by looking/measuring it? |

Those 3D printers are awesome. I would say go for it on the shifter as long as you know how to use autocadd right. The hardest thing would definitley be the threads.

any chance you could get access to a 3d scanner? also I wouldn't rip off twm's design as they have reps who occasionally come on these boards
