Future Changes…

The smaller version is a little stiff since the spring arms are shorter, I might try making them slightly thinner to compensate. You also need to loosen the screws slightly for it to work well since otherwise it's clamping the dials, which is a problem with the original model as well but I'll see if I can make it better.

Clicky

Hardware

Uses 8mm M3 screws and nuts.

Changes

  • Added the clicky
  • Added a smaller version (body 81x39mm -> 69.2x31.5mm) and thinner smaller version (10.4mm -> 9mm)
  • Reversed the dials: I thought it would be better this way but honestly I think I prefer the original dials. I've uploaded both sets, and the smaller version uses the original orientation
  • Thickened some of the 0.5mm walls to 0.8mm
  • Added sacrificial layers to remove the need for supports (0.2mm layer below screw/nut hole overhangs you will need to remove with a hobby knife or 3mm drill bit)

Print Settings (Mine, YMMV)

  • REQUIRED: 0.2mm layer height due to design
  • Material: PLA
  • Top: No Support, Don't Filter Tiny Gaps (Cura)
  • Bottom: No Support
  • Left/Right Dial: Don't Filter Tiny Gaps, Filament change stuff at layer 11
  • Spring x2: Don't Filter Tiny Gaps, 3mm Raft (not required if you have better bed adhesion than me. And don't cut yourself using your scraper to take them off the raft, I use anti-cut gloves)
