    Title says it all. I was looking at the bottom of the shift knob and wondering if it would be a possible 3D printable object, that could be glued to the bottom of an aftermarket knob (as long as its flat, I.E. a lightsaber hilt or katana hilt.)

    It looks like just a flat "O" shape with two protruding clip ends would do the job to clip into the shift boot and hold it. @mesojdm probably has the skills to design something, but I know he's a busy man.

    Anyone have any feedback?
