Hermes Baby Platen Knob

thingiverse

This exact replica of a Hermes Baby typewriter platen knob features the precise number of ridges around its edge, mirroring the original model's style. Two versions are available to match the distinct types of knobs found on this typewriter model: one with an unobstructed hole and one with the hole sealed off. Either version fits snugly around the metal anchor piece that screws onto the platen rod. For optimal results, consider printing it upside-down, allowing the upper surface to emerge smooth and even, especially if you opt for supports. 100% infill is recommended. The knob measures 25mm in diameter and 8mm in thickness, with a 10mm diameter hole. If the metal piece for the center is missing, a modified version is available that utilizes the metal collar from a standard 1/4" guitar knob. This alternative ensures that you're not left without an option if the original metal insert proves impossible to find.
