Hi Mike.
I have been using an Ultimaker 2+ printer with a 0.4mm extruder and
3mm PLA filament. The walls are 2mm thick, which is on the limit for
the mic/phone-connectors.
I am using the OpenSCAD CAD program (box design enclosed) and the
Cura slicer.
It seems as if your dimensions are in centi-inches (!?). The hole in
your knob I guess should be roughly 6mm and it is rougly24.
So 24*2.56/100 is roughly 6.09mm.? Cura does not give you the option
to scale a .stl file though.

I use 1.75mm Filament.? I use Simplify3D set to 30% fill and
0.1mm layer.? I have setup in Inches, I can see relative size
when the part loads.
The big knob loads with the bottom (hollow parts up), so I flip
it with the top of the knob UP.?? I tell Simplify3D to use
SUPPORTS.
Print time is a little less than 1 1/2 Hours.
You picture looks like you were printing the smaller volume knob.?
I put a pointer on it (of a fashon).
You printer is really printing perfect.? I have never seen parts
any better!
Sounds like a Inches vs mm problem in setting?
Tell us what printer and filament you are using, the Box looks
prefect, especially with the thin walls.
They look really good.

here is a pic of the one I printed without checking...

Are you sure you sent the correct.stl files?
The one I printed came out huge and when checking the other
one a bit more carefully after slicing, it would have been
even bigger.
137.5 x 137.5 x 75 mm, 2 days and 5 hours printing time,
37m filament.
Or are your units not mm?

I used Black PLA and the long print time for better

Here are some knobs I drew up and printed. Also an LCD Bezel. I have a speaker mount and grill ready to put in too.

Anyone else here have a 3D printer? Anyone found some good looking knobs for the front? I'm printing a couple I found on thingiverse right now but not sure how well they're going to work out.
