Re: BitX Volume Knob 3D Print File


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Those Knobs were designed for the FemptoBit 2000 GHz Radio!? Made for Flea Hams!

It is all in scaling, Cura may think the units are MM?.? In inches the tuning knob is 1.2".? The volume is 0.625".? So if you don't see those sizes your software is set up wrong.? Some programs automatically scale.? Others printed the knobs and had the same problem.? They fixed it in Cura with settings.? I use Simplify3D, so I can't help with Cura.? I am sure someone on this list uses Cura?


Hit YouTube also?

Keep going, I have 3? 3D printers and it is a Hit and Miss every print.??? Wait until you find yourself getting up in the middle of the night to check how your part is going!

Michael, I'm a 3D printer noobie and literally just got a monoprice printer this week. I've tried to load your two knobs stl files that you shared into Cura to generate the necessary gcode. The first knob (tuning) comes into Cura as a speck with zero minutes of run time. The volume knob comes in with an error message saying that it was resized and it also has zero minutes of run time. I've downloaded a stl file from another source and it comes in correctly and shows what I guess is a normal runtime of 1 hour and 58 minutes.?

Your knobs where going to be my first attempt to print something because they seemed small and useful for one of my BITX radio! :-))

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Roy

I was asked yesterday for STL files for Knobs for Bit X.

This is the volume knob with the small shaft hole.? You could drill it out for 6mm pots?
