As for the Sim Racing Sequential Shifter, I recommend PLA or ABS. For the infill, I recommend a minimum of 20%. Here are recommendations for printing 3D solid parts.

The m8x150 half thread that’s linked is a hex head for a wrench compared to a socket cap, and I’m struggling to find a short threaded replacement. Do you know by chance what the max thread length can be?
Hello Zachary,
Thank you for your order.
I didn’t understand your issue. The M8 double end thread rod is here:

The recommended length is 150mm.

Oh crap sorry, meant the m8x100 bolt. It looks like it’s not a socket head like shown in the video. My bad
I bought the screw here : https://www.visseriefixations.fr/vis-a-six-pans-creux/tete-cylindrique-hexagonale-creuse/acier-8-8-zingue-blanc/tchc-acier-8-8-zingue-blanc-filetage-partiel-din-912.html
But the Aliexpress m8x150 screw linked is also compatible, don’t worry, there is no difference apart from the head.
Perfect thank you
You are welcome. Do not hesitate to post a review of your shifter when it is finished, with the current offer, your purchase will be refunded 50%.
Hello!
Can I use Arduino Nano instead of Micro? How do I do this?
Thank you!
Hello,
Arduino nano can’t work because the microchip isn’t the Atmega32ua.
You can use Arduino pro micro or Leonardo instead.
