• Added internal knurls to help designing force-insertion knobs.
• Minor bug solving

Knob Generator engine

Customizable Openscad script.

Generator is highly configurable and can be used to design any form of Knob.

It comes with more than 20 presets inspired from famous console strips, guitar and synthesizers iconic knobs. See images for some examples.

Includes many shapes and forms customizers, including inner shaft, clearance, and screw external hole sets.

Model is quite complex, and while it is expected to work with Thingiverse customizer, the large amount of parameters and complex model sequence are not supported by Thingiverse, please use Openscad instead.

Features:

• Parametric model for Basic body and several inner and outer rings
• Bevel and Emboss systems using circular additive and extrusion cylinders rings
• Side extrusion for Chickenhead-like knobs
• Shape rounding and ratiometric extruding for cones/angles
• Text overlay with extrusion or addition
• 20+ color schemes to choose from
• Variable shape resolution parameter for fast modeling and high quality one-shot renders
