It's not the size of your knob that counts, it's the quality of its design and the thought put into its function. This perfectly conceived and executed knob is a staggeringly optimal 24mm high, with a strong swept neck leading to a stunning 36mm base designed to provide maximum adhesive potential utilizing your preferred sticky substance (like Superglue). It can be printed in black, white or grey FDM filaments - but please note that this is not designed to be printed in green. Tests on blue materials are still pending.

This design is capable of being printed multiple times giving you more than one knob if needed. It is even possible to print multiple knobs at the same time. This knob is capable of being increased in volume (know as a big knob) or even scaled only along the X or Y axis (to provide what is referred to as girth).

If you do print this project, please take the time to take a picture of your knob, and upload it here - I tentatively plan to author a book of pictures of people's knobs and publish it. I'm particularly interested in anyone who tries alternate scales from the original project… there may be a prize for the biggest, you never know. I can't wait to see yours.

For the best results, print with at least 3 perimeters. Infill not really required unless you're going to put a lot of mechanical strain on your knob. Supports are very likely needed depending on your printers capabilities - try painting on occasional supports to address the potential of a droopy knob.
