Pickup-Select Switch Knob

prusaprinters

A replacement knob for an electric guitar pickup select switch. This was for my strat copy, but I suspect it will work for a variety of pickups switches.It prints very quickly and seemed to work well, once I got the hole sizing right. Hope it works for you. Good news is that at less than a gram and printing very quickly, there is not much time to be wasted in finding out.The switch I used it on has approx a 1.3mm x 7mm rectangular cross section.Possibly the smallest thing I've designed and printed! :) Notes:Doesn't need supports as inner ceiling is so small.Depending on your printer you may need to clean it up a bit with some sandpaper or a knife. Check inside the hole and clean that with a tiny file or tweezers if necessary.If it's very snug on your switch, try warming up the knob with a heat gun or hairdryer (just a bit!) and push it on while it's slightly rubbery. (may need a glove to avoid burning fingers).If it's very loose, try a bit of glue.  If you mess it up, don't worry it uses about a penny's worth of filament and prints in a few minutes. I needed neither - just a bit of gentle force and it was on without problems. Careful not to push too hard, as you can break your switch, and you don't want that.Design Date: Oct 2017Category: Music
