The secret ingredient is crime

How much time it takes for a regular cad user to draw such a knob?
I spent less than an hour to design these guards for our stove, and most of the time was on how it looked. I wanted it to be functional, but not look too out of place.

Lol "regular CAD user"
I mean, we exist.
There's dozens of us! Dozens!

You can save so much money with CAD if you neither factor in your time to actually learn it or the cost of the printer itself.
Makes crime even better in comparison.
Here in Canada every major library I've been to has a 3D printer you can use, either for free if you bring your own filament, or for a very small fee to use theirs. I live in a small town of 70,000 people and our public library has a 3D printer.

Why are people breaking/losing knobs on their ranges in the first place? I’ve never done that in 4 decades. Seems like an extremely unlikely thing to do.
Some guy once broke into my brother's backyard and stole the lid to his BBQ. Just the lid.

I would just like to say that 70k people isn't a small town. I live in a town with 9k people in it. Now that's a small town.

I though you needed consent to put sometimes knob in you pocket ...

Only 9k people? That's not a town, that's a village.

9k? That's a major city. I lived and worked in an area where the 9k town about an hour away was the bee's knees for the folks where I was, which had a great!!! city of 2,500, and the rest were unincorporated places of a hundred or so at the crossroads.

My printer has saved me more than it’s cost in useful stuff I have printed.

Enshittification is probably a large part. However, I can see it.
Our's are plastic, 25 years old, and look like crap. Wash them all you want, they just look dirty all the time. I'd replace them except for the absurd cost for a piece of molded ABS.
I take them off to wash them. I can imagine someone having an accident with one, like washing them in dishwasher and having one fall down onto a heating element. Those are big, but our's are small enough to get knocked down onto the garbage disposal - it would't be easy, and would require an unusual sequence is events, but I've fucked up even more unlikely sequences of events in my life.
I really wish I could get decent aluminum replacements for our's; it wouldn't make the range any newer, but it'd make it look nicer than the black plastic shit that it came with.
Aluminum casting is fun and cheap.

I'm proof. My first printer is currently worth like $25. Maker Select V2. Still works great. I learned FreeCAD and enjoyed every minute.
compooter + printer still go brrrrrrrrrrr

I learned this from my dad... When I was young, we had a plumbing leak on a Sunday night, p-trap was leaking. All places were closed, so he went to a McDonald's bathroom and stole theirs to replace ours.
20 something years later, my faucet was leaking. It was a discontinued model from a brand owned by home Depot, though they still had the display model up. Remembering what my pa did, I took the display model apart and took what I needed.
lmaooo that's why bathrooms in those places now have the minimal setup to work properly. Good to know that I can be part of the change.

You can accidentally hit a knob and break it while moving the appliance itself. As for losing them, sometimes you knock one loose and it rolls under the fridge, and it's not worth the effort of moving a large appliance out of its nook just to get the knob back. Shit happens.
Maybe you were just a miracle child who never has accidents. Who knows?
I have never had a range where the knobs are at the front, so that’s probably part of it. They’re much safer at the back.

Sounds like a tweaker preparing to join a Roman Phalanx

That link doesn’t load for me? I’m really interested in what you designed. I tried turning my WiFi off and use cellar in case my pihole was interfering but that didn’t load either. Any chance the link formatting got messed up or something?

I did a similar thing, not because my knob broke though, I just didn't like the heiroglyphics bosch designed
