fluted knobs

thingiverse

This code builds upon the concepts presented in https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2163938.\r\nThe Openscad source enables the creation of various types of attractive knobs for electronic projects. These knobs can be configured with either 6-32 setscrews featuring an embedded nut or the D shape push on shaft style. The design resembles the style used in Icom HF radios, and it includes a tapered skirt that conceals the control mounting nut.\r\n\r\nChange History from original:\r\n// - reformatted for improved readability\r\n// - added comments to aid with modification\r\n// - included option to add or delete filler for shafts with flats\r\n// - incorporated option for 6-32 set screw using trapped 6-32 nut\r\n// - number of flutes scales with knob size\r\n// - March 14, 2019 - made knob taper adjustable plus or minus\r\n\r\n// In September 2019, a photo was added of printed knobs, usb plug mount, and 22mm bezel all on my A/C and D/C power supply projects.
