<b>EDIT:</b> The M6 knob model has been updated with the correct threadform. Sorry for any inconvenience caused earlier. Now optimized for Metric! All geometry has been updated, resulting in an overall size of 25mm x 25mm with a 17mm hex collar. .IGES and .STEP versions are included, allowing users to model custom thread sizes as needed. S.A.E. Ultimate Jig Knobs: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2332179 THE ULTIMATE JIG KNOB Working in the garage, I frequently set up jigs using 80/20, T-slotted channels, fabricated Aluminum brackets and 3D printed parts. In the past, I always found myself needing more knobs. I used Pronged T-Nuts for a while but I really wanted a universal knob that could be used for all my projects. I set about designing and refining these Knobs to maximize their flexibility. Early designs were too smooth, so I added knurling. Knobs sometimes needed to be tighter than I could hand torque, or became stuck, thus the hex shaft was introduced. Starting the knobs was a pain, so a simple tool was designed to socket in the back of the Knob. I've come to love this design, and I hope these knobs will find their way into your shop!
