Designing a Custom Extruder Knob for the Creality Ender 3 using OpenSCAD. To create an extruder knob that complements the Creality Ender 3's aesthetic, one must first import the necessary modules in OpenSCAD. This includes the `import()` function to load the STL model of the existing extruder knob and the `color()` function to set its appearance. The following code demonstrates how to design a custom extruder knob using OpenSCAD: ```scad // Import the STL model of the original extruder knob use <extruder_knob.stl>; // Set the color of the new extruder knob color("silver") { // Extrude the knob shape extrusion = 10; // Change this value to adjust the knob's height cylinder(h=extrusion, r=20); // Adjust the radius as needed } ``` This code will generate a silver-colored knob with a height of 10 units. To change the color or height of the knob, simply modify the `color()` and `extrusion` variables. Once you have designed your custom extruder knob in OpenSCAD, you can export it as an STL file for printing on your 3D printer.
