3d print knobs.

[rcl700]

I hoping maybe someone on the forum may have a print file for the plymouth dash knobs. I have a printer but have not had any success finding someone that may have a print file for them. Unfortunately I don't know how to create the model. Maybe one day.  

 

Please let me know if you have stl / gcode files for the throttle, choke, etc...

Send me I private message if you can help.

They are a simple shape, so even as a novice you can probably create a suitable design yourself. Try Tinkercad https://www.tinkercad.com/ It's a very simple web based cad program. The basics are that you select a geometric shape and then add and subtract shapes to it. That includes lettering as well. May take a few hours to get the hang of it but it has a fast learning curve. I believe there's a Tinkercad forum as well.

 

Once you have your design you can download an STL file. Load the STL into Slicr or similar program to set your print parameters. Then from Slicr you can create a gcode file for printing.

 

First try some simple designs and print them as described above. It's worth the effort as you'll get a lot more utility from your printer.

If you have a 3D printer, you should probably be familiar with all the applicable CAD modeling as well

These knobs are available on e-bay, the molded plastic quality should be much better than your 3D prints.
