Re: 485 Knob


 

There is a small tektronix knob on thingiverse, I haven't tried printing it
yet, but plan too as I'm in need of a knob for a 2213...

Getting the color right is always the key, but 3d prints can be painted and
the paint stays on pretty good, also I have a pretty nice beige color of
polycarbonate, I use it to make replacement HP switch covers, looks pretty
good.

Just curious, has anyone ever tried 3D printing replacement knobs? My Tek
equipment is all intact but I could use a few HP knobs as well as a couple
of Genrad. That might be a nice little sideline for someone to help justify
the cost of a good quality printer. Getting the color bang on would be an
issue and a 4th axis to rotate the knob as it's being made might be
necessary for really good authenticity. Still, worth exploring?
