Original knob started "slipping" when rotated, making it very hard to activate or shut off the airfryer. Decided to print a replacement if I could. Kudos to @Mich21050_518668  for sharing the f3d file so I could base my version off of that - see differences.

Printed in PLA, with 20% gyroid infill, 6 wall lines (trying to make the stem as sturdy as I could, as that is the weakest part - will see how long this holds! If you put the seam on the side where the indicator is, it is almost like an extra indicator stripe on the side ;-) 

Knob slides on a bit difficult (also because in my case the timer unit  is a bit loose in the housing, sliding to the back when pushing the knob on), but adding a tiny bit of “silicon grease” to the inside of the knob stem and the metal rod where it is pushed on helped.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

-changed outer and stem dimensions to fit the hole on the Inventum airfryer
-relocated the indicator stripe to the correct site for the inventum and recessed it, so it can print easier in one color
-filled in the knob body higher so it supports the stem further up
