Ash Tray Delete with FAST Wireless Charging FULL GUIDE - Now available for purchase
After a few more iterations, I'm happy enough with the result to open it up for sale! https://i.imgur.com/l9Ke6PKh.jpg First, a disclaimer: 1. I printed this part myself. I have not ordered one yet from Shapeways. It is possible there may be minor differences in the finished product...

I got your transfer case knob. This is the first design on the replacement cap with the Morse code of H N L, lol.

Well, that's obscure. Yet oddly cool...
Man I'd feel like a dork not being able to read it
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for mine. I just stared at an awkwardly naked lever for 9 hours on a road trip. This'll be a really cool little touch for my truck.
I'm interested in Make 7 with the 120V outlet, but would like to see someone to DIY the inverter install before I tackle it.
What inverter are people looking at running?

Love it.
Maybe the letters of the words all the same size, but yup, that's the gist. The font looks to be pretty similar in design but the big first letters are wide and almost make it look like a different font. As close to factory looking lettering as possible is what I'm after. I know there are only 3 letters to go on in the original

"Crawl" is a long word for this cap. If C has a decent size for legibility, the whole word is just too long.Maybe the letters of the words all the same size, but yup, that's the gist.

But I have no idea how to fill the letters with white paints. You have to try it. @MongooseGA
I'm going to play with a concept guys used to refinish Fuch wheels back when I was into old Porsches. (I guess they probably still do it...)
Just fill the well with paint and let it flow around the bottom, then tilt/turn to get it up on the walls. Any overage on to the top surface can be easily removed with some thinner or prep spray.
Or I just go the quick route, do some quick rough masking, spray the whole thing, then remove the white from the top surface.

That's a good idea. Thanks Ben!
You could inlay the letters with two pieces sandwiched together: one black top piece with the letters cut out, and a white bottom with raised letters penetrating into the top piece. Only the centers of the “a”s would have to be painted black.
Whoah, that gear shift cap is awesome!
