With some blades I have trouble getting the last 1/2 turn to the proper tension with the stock small knob. So I designed this star knob. Since it provides so much leverage, I left it flush with the saw. That saved filament. Printed with PLA, no special settings. I put a small chamfer at the base where the fillet begins so it will print without being stringy.
