3D-printable generic cabinet knob

youmagine

This versatile pull-knob for cabinet drawers is effortless to manufacture via 3D printing and can be easily installed on any flat surface using a standard M4 screw that's readily available. The knob can be placed directly on a level surface or recessed into a 14 mm hole, providing flexibility in its installation. The cone-shaped recessed version of the knob also allows for gluing instead of screwing, offering additional mounting options. The bore in this knob is designed to be slightly smaller than 4 mm when 3D-printed, making it possible to use a standard M4 screw without needing a nut or tapping the hole in advance. To achieve a strong thread-grip, we recommend using as long screws as possible. This knob was designed as part of a project where an old pharmacy counter from 1906 was salvaged and given new life instead of ending up in scrap. Some knobs were missing, so instead of making new ones on a lathe, we decided to 3D-print them in thick layers using brown PLA filament.
