Edited the MPM design to make it up to date with my newest single shifter design. Now it features:
Shorter paddle throw on all three paddles
More stable Fanatec mount with additional support
Replica of the original APM paddles
Of course with the shorter throw you will have to bend a little the switches metal arm (see video for reference).
Now with the shorter throw it feels even better. Have not tested, but clutch has 2 degrees less rotation and now should utilize better the whole throw.
All parts and assembly remain the same.

Parts needed:
- Neodym Magnets 15x4mm - 14-16x (depending if you want more magnets on shifter for stronger feel)
- Omron micro switch or clone (Micro Switch 2/3Pin NO/NC Mini Limit Switch) with straight handle - 4x
- M3 Standoffs (columns, rods, struts, spacers for RC), (o.d. 5mm), 18mm long - 12x
- M3 Alu washers for slick look (Countersunk Head Bolt Washers Gasket), not so needed - 8x
- M3 countersunk screws for clutch side assembly, I used 16mm ones - 4x
- M3x50mm countersunk screws - for shifter assembly, they hold together the three standoffs in row - 4x
- M3x12 round head screws for shifter and clutch paddles, mounting baseplate - 12x
- M2 screws for switch mounting, at lease 16mm - 8x
- M3 nuts for holding mount plate
- M3 brass 3D print inserts, 4.2mm o.d., 6mm length - for paddles/flat base - 12-20x
- Magnetic Hall Sensor SS49E - 2x
Included are two mounting options - Fanatec hubs/wheels and flat button plate (bottom mounted).

hi, you did a fantastic job. I have a question for you. the biggest flaw of the original podium palettes in my opinion is the excessive weight. Can you tell me how much your sets weigh? being in 3d printing they should be lighter correct?

Thanks, mate! Yes, they look lighter to me a lot (sold my original one and do not remember). Have a set assembled currently and will measure them tonight. Will put info in the forum so it stays somewhere for future reference.
Vincenzo Lonano
thank you, you're so kind. based on how much they will weigh, if you are available, I would also be willing to buy a set. I have 2 original podim paddles, but I wouldn't mind swapping for a lightweight version

thanks for the video response. they are lighter than the originals I see, very good. do you make them for sale?

Hi, in general no, but I have some parts left, maybe can assist you somehow. You can contact me here on DM, Discord or in the Facebook group. Cheers!
