Ultimate Printer Knob Upgrade - The Best Knob of Both Worlds (Precision/Comfort & Speed)

prusaprinters

It seems most printer knobs are either good at precision/comfort, or they are good at speedy rotation, not both.This knob upgrade truly has the “Best of Both Worlds”, precision using an aesthetically pleasing, traditional “knurled knob” for simple menu navigation, and a finger-loop (large enough for those of us with fat fingers) for maximum speedy rotations when adjusting setting requiring rapid-movement such as LiveZ, or using the control knob to move the extruder position.  I run these knobs on all of my printers, and i genuinely prefer them over the OEM knob. If you like/use this knob PLEASE post your "make" I love to see it in use :)Some Highlights:It has been strategically designed so the finger-loop does not protrude far enough vertically (up) to make contact with the build plate in the maximum forward position.The knob's loop is strategically oriented so in the 100% DOWN position you can stick your finger through the finger-loop to press the X button if you need to cancel a print/reboot.The knob's finger-loop is strategically oriented so it does not cover the printer speaker if in the 100% UP positionFun Fact - “The Best of Both Worlds” is the Star Trek TNG episode where Picard is assimilated into Locutus.Printing:Prints with with no supports and a good knurled texture with a .4mm nozzle @ .20mm quality in ~30 minutes.I have included a .3mf file to illustrate the proper printing orientation.Bonus!
