Re: BitX Volume Knob 3D Print File

In Cura one of the buttons on the left side when viewing the knob will be for scaling. It's been a while but as I recall there are tool tips for the buttons. It'll pop up a dialog which is self explanitory.

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,

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?
