play kitchen knob

thingiverse

My friend Rosebud asked for a clicking knob for a play kitchen, so here it is! Knob diameter: 8cm (since version 1.5). The photo shows a prototype that's 50% the size, but I think this is suitable for most applications with a 4cm knob diameter. To assemble, just slide the shaft of the knob into the hole at the bottom, but be careful - the click blade has to line up with a space between two teeth on the gear when you put them together (see the corresponding picture). Version 1.5, December 19, 2018: Final version. * I resized the knob to match the back of it, which might reduce stress on the click blade since it's longer now (thanks to Rosebud for the suggestion!). Version 1.4, December 18, 2018: * I made some improvements to the shape and dimensions of the click blade. Version 1.3, December 17, 2018: * I made the click blade thicker and wider. * I also broadened the gear at the bottom. Version 1.2, December 16, 2018: * I added ripples to the knob for better grip. Version 1.1, December 16, 2018: * I shortened the click blade a bit and rounded its tip. * I also enlarged the marker on top of the knob.
