Motorola Talkabout Knob

thingiverse

This is the on/off and volume control dial for a Motorola Talkabout T5500 radio. Likely to fit other radios, as well. The potentiometer shaft should be similar, but the surrounding plastic may differ in size. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2mm Infill: 15% Notes: Printing upside down is necessary, as it produces a flawless result with no supports needed. It may be required to flip the model within your slicer program. Using settings at 70mm/sec with a 50% first layer achieves a smooth finish and precisely captures even the smallest details of the small knurl texture. How I Created This Designed using Sketchup 15 from precise measurements taken from the original dial.
