Simplicity 555 Snow Chute Adjustment Knob

thingiverse

I finally created my very first 3D model + print completely by myself. It was a real challenge, but I'm thrilled with the result. The original knob had cracked in half and fallen off, leaving only its square nut attached to the bolt. To fix it, I needed another knob that fit perfectly. After taking some measurements from the old knob, I decided to create a new one with similar dimensions, but with a slightly beefed-up design. This would ensure it was strong enough for heavy use. Luckily, my second print turned out great after making some adjustments on placement of the nut in the first print that failed. To make sure this new knob lasts longer, I plan to apply a coat of lacquer to protect it from water, ice, and direct sunlight.
