Customizable knob for pot lid and drawers

thingiverse

Human: Designed this knob for a pot lid, but I'm sure you can use it for a drawer and a few other things too. Remember to block support at the top of the bolt, because we don't need support there. Also, I printed with PLA and it holds up very well, doesn't get soft or anything when cooking. Either the outside of the lid doesn't get that hot or my knob was annealed after a few hours on the stove. All properties of this knob are customizable. Feature: - Customizable bolt size. - Create a cavity to insert a metal hex nut, or without if you want to thread the knob yourself. - Create a whole knob or half a knob for printing without support. - Customizable knob styles: inward, outward, or straight. - Customizable base size and top round knob size. The easiest version to print among my STL files is the outward_v2.stl. BTW, if you're using Octoprint, add the script below to your Octoprint GCODE setting and you can do an advanced pause similar to the functionality on Prusa firmware. You can then pause mid-print to insert the hex nut. After print job is paused: G91 M83 ; retract filament, move Z slightly upwards G1 Z+5 E-5 F4500 M82 G90 ; move to a safe rest position, adjust as necessary G1 X0 Y180 Before print job is resumed: M83 ; prime nozzle G1 E-2 F4500 G1 E2 F4500 M82 ; absolute XYZ G90 ; move back to pause position XYZ G1 X{{ pause_position.x }} Y{{ pause_position.y }} Z{{ pause_position.z }} F4500 ; reset to feed rate before pause G1 {{ pause_position.f }}
