Description
The Hercules company provided an STL file for the contest however, remixing a mesh file can be challenging, so I thought I could make it easier for everyone by making a STEP file blank template for the contest. This should make parametric modelling easier.
Two models available, one with a model to use to “cut” the hole in your models wherever you want, without having to use my basic round knob template.
I have also slightly improved the geometry of the hollow section that goes over the encoder stem as there were a few overhangs that seemed unnecessary in the Hercules model.
I have printed and tested this on the encoder knob on my keyboard and it fits well. I am unable to test on the DJ controller itself so if anyone can provide feedback, that would be great.
Please enjoy creating some interesting knobs for the contest with this file! I look forward to seeing what people create.
