Greeting Knob

thingiverse

Greeting Knob\n"Welcome." Or, "Thanks for coming." Either salutation is suitable with the Greeting Knob mounted on your door. Two STL format files are included with the Greeting Knob: the handle and the mount. The mount is optional but enables a conventional door handle/knob to be placed on the other side of the door. Based on your choice of mounting technique, either flush or mounting it proud of the door surface, you might need to adjust the depth of the Greeting Knob's mount by trimming the attachment disc. An ideal filament for making your own Greeting Knob is one of the many metal powder enriched PLA filaments. For example, Proto-Pasta PLA metal compositions (proto-pasta.com) would be ideal for this print. The illustrated handle was printed with Proto-Pasta Aromatic Coffee PLA--yielding a rich warm tone. The orange mount was printed with HIPS. Vitals Average print time: 3 hours (handle), 55 minutes (mount) Supports: not needed Brims/Rafts: not needed Print speed: standard (Cura profile) Software: created with Autodesk 123D Design The mount may need to be reduced in scale (e.g., 2-3%) for securely holding the knob in place. When using one of the metal composition PLA filaments, post-print processing might be necessary for obtaining a realistic metal finish.
