It is a simple remake of the prusa i3 mk4 knob for the mk3 series printers…

 

 

Known the circumstances:


It is not without reason that version 3 is marked with the note that it is the fitting of the original prusa knob.

''' MK4 Knob for MK3 v3 - (original fit 6mm).stl ''''

This is unfortunately a bit too wide, especially for 'borrowed' pots.

That's why I included the other versions / fittings.

There is also the thing, that the prusas dont have all the same poti so - the length of the axis might vary - for my poti - my designs work great - for others - they might have to print some test versions in diffenrent height/width scaling factors or measure theit poti axis, then maeasure the knob inside the prusa slic3r and and adjust the factors.

For example, if the knob collides with the LED housing - just print a small cylinder and use it to adjust the height differe.

Keep in mind that if you press the button with the opening down, it will at least get a slight elephant foot (thickening/broadening) over the first layers and the fit can therefore become a little tighter.

You can set it into the knob by a press-fitting or glue it in with superglue ; )

Mention that I have printed my knobs with a perfect calibrated printer / extrusion / filament etc.

 

You may have to fiddle around a bit.

Have fun!
