Vw campervan air vent knob

thingiverse

This is my very first 3D printed object and initial Thingiverse contribution, so please be patient with me. I have uploaded the STL file, but feel free to request a solid model if you need it for any remixes. The part fits snugly on the spindle, which is intentional since there's no screw holding it in place - it still works perfectly fine. I printed this using PPLA filament on an Ultimaker 2+ at Reading Makerspace. I set the infill to 10% and the layer height to 0.15mm. For the print settings, I used the default PLA parameters for feed speed and temperature. While it feels a bit flimsy, it has held up remarkably well so far - although I can envision it becoming brittle over time due to sun exposure. This part is designed specifically for a 1973 Bay Window, but I'm fairly certain these air vents will fit various campers as well!
