Philadelphia! Very astute, my friend. Where are you yourself?
I somewhat thought that getting an education, working white collar, social media, and living in Europe the last 6 years that I would have of lost my accent. Hence why I found your comment so interesting!
SoCal more specifically Inland Empire San Bernardino foothills.
Also your accent stay with you hell it can even stay with your kin depending on various factors. My accent is basically just an old regional accent but if I get pissy enough it rapidly devolves into a bastardized brogue. But yeah I find dialects and accents interesting especially in how they mutate diverge and reconverge.
Also if you are at all curious I pronounce it budder, wader, and rooves.

There is no single correct answer. There often isn't, in fact.
As for heat: You can treat PLA to be more resistive to temperature and even at stock, untreated, cheapest PLA wont just deform from hot air escaping since the thing melts at 190 and the air wont be that hot for long enough. It may deform with regular use though. You also don't have to use PLA and use something more temp resistive.
Beauty? Eye of the beholder. Its a conversation piece. Its something you point at and say "I made that". Its wabi-sabi, I like it.
If it melts, just print another!

There is, you need to wash vegetables before you eat them
wrote last edited by [email protected]I'm pretty sure baby carrots are prewashed.
Edit: Oh, perhaps you don't know this. In which case, I'd love to be the one to tell you: baby carrots are just cut up regular carrots.

Why not both. 3D print one and swap them at Home Depot. Or heck 3D print all of them, replace them all, keep the one you need and sell the rest on eBay. If they all match, I doubt Home Depot would even notice.
Some poor sucker is going to eventually buy the display model tho

I feel like this parallels the story about spending of $10 million to research and develop a Space Pen vs just using pencils.

The problem with pencils is that in space broken graphite floats around easily and is conductive. A conductive powder floating into something electronic in a pressurized oxygen rich environment is no bueno.

You can dip it in shiny paint too. Its not stainless steel but its good enough
No worries, the OEM ones aren't stainless steel, either. They're "stainless appearance," i.e. plastic with a thin veneer of cheesy chrome plating that's about one molecule thick.
You can electroplate 3D prints by using a basecoat of conductive spraypaint, and then the limit of the thickness of your plating is only really limited by your patience. Nickel is quite easy to do at home.

Oh yes! The correct answer is to 3D print a plastic knob for the front of an oven. There's not going to be any heat issues there! And no one can deny how beautiful that black knob looks next to the brushed metal.
The knobs on your oven are overwhelmingly likely to be either completely made of plastic or contain a large percentage of plastic already. Typically they're made of ABS or PBT.
PLA probably isn't a good choice for this application but you could absolutely print some knobs in ABS or ASA and you'd be fine. You can even get PBT filament, but that's probably more hassle than it's worth and ABS is cheaper.

Graphite powder is also quite flammable isn't it?

I quite like electroplating with titanium. Can vary the voltage for some great colors too.

Had to read like 50 comments and nobody pointed out you can just buy a generic knob for like $1. Hell your used building center would be 50 cents. WTF world do we live in where the solution is CAD and 3D printing for something so trivial. It's like using a nuclear bomb to kill an ant nest.
Look dude, fuck those ants.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I'm not sure, but with that much oxygen in the air I'm sure anything could "become" flammable, especially when atomized or turned into a powder. That's why grain silos on farms are fire hazards; the dust.

Not that BS story again...

They'll get an even better deal then given the missing knobs! Or the store will just foot the bill for the replacement knob that they can probably get for less than the consumer price

You can't put that in quotation marks like I ever said something about wasting time. You just have to include all that time in your cost calculation.
Not really, no. If you're learning something not only that you like, but that it's also useful and that you will you use many times in the future, I wouldn't consider that to be part of the "cost".

Even if they're prewashed, they're lying in a crowded supermarket on display all day. You don't know who touched them and who sneezed on them, but you can know for a fact, someone did, and most people don't wash hands.

ßake? Must be Japanese.

The B looks like the German ß which makes the s sound. That would make it say sake, which is a Japanese kind of alcohol.
