    I like this because then the display is broken in the same way it will actually break when someone buys it. It's like warning others of the issue. It's really a public service when you think about it lol

    Maybe that's what happened to the original knob. Years ago someone bought a stove and the knob broke so they stole their neighbours as a replacement, thus starting a tit for tat, reciprocal crime wave that swept the nation.

      LG wants me to pay $45 for a single official replacement.

      Amazon has a whole set for $14.

        Not sure why it's not working for you. I tried it with a couple of browsers in incognito mode and it works fine for me.

        Weird, I can get to it now. Thank you so much for following up and sorry for wasting your time. Those guards are really cool, it isn’t what I envisioned at all, your approach is really sleek!

          Also, holy crap, there is a ton of useful stuff on that site, I had no idea, I am starting to feel like I need a 3d printer now. Wow. I wish I could get a really good quality one for less but I would rather buy once and hurt once. There are a lot of creative ideas I would have never even thought of from a practical use standpoint.

            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.

              this.

              bought a ratchet belt from a large box store. comfortable. but it needs 2 tiny screws what will eventually fall off making it garbage.

              so whenever that happens, I go to that store with a precision screwdriver in my pocket, and take a screw from a new belt. given that it's too late to get it exchanged.

              did that a couple of times until I realised a drop of cyanoacrylate will stop them from falling off.

              ain't going to buy the whole product because they didn't test their products and left it to me to fix them

              There is a brand of glue called Loctite that sells popular thread locking glues for this exact purpose and works very well. They make different strength adhesives for different applications, all their thread-locking glues start with code '2'. The common ones for general use around the home for use with small screws / nuts & bolts and removal with hand tools is 222 / 242 / 243 (higher number, larger screw/bolt gauge width).

              Just adding this info for anyone else looking for a similar solution.

                Own experience: If you hang out with the right group of kids in highschool you can learn how to walk out of a Kaufland with entire liquor bottles without paying. So they kinda teach it in schools.

                  With free returns and having a size difference in my feet I may (or may not) order 2 different sizes of the same shoe and end up returning one.

                    From this story alone I have several ideas of what your accent is, also this is the type of shit my kin would pull. I'm more of a "how many parts can I daisy chain while maintaining no leakage, my record is 12 which was the minimum needed. I hope an actual plumber never looks at my bathtub plumbing cause the faucet is certainly doing things much like my computers cable management.

                    I am interested in what you assume me accent be, though I'll give ya some hints and you tell me where I'm from...

                    My wife teases my pronunciation of butter and water as they come out as "budder" and "wooder", house roofs as "woofs", and I call water creeks "cricks". She also laughs at me when I get angry \ passionate as I become louder and sound like "one of those Italian gangsters from the old bugs Bunny cartoons". And she'll repeat back to me, exaggerated, "whaddya talkin about?!" as I seem to ask her that before every debate...

                      Once you have the printer and the knowhow, it takes like 5 minutes to draw and 20 minutes to print at a cost of like 0.10 €

                      It takes longer to go to a location and buy it at a much higher cost. So why should you?

                        Its also something you built with your hands and brain. There are few things which feel as good.

                          My secret trick?

                          I've been using the same stove for a quarter of a century. Was here when I moved in.

                          The trick is: the knobs don't come off. (In the extremely unlikely chance they might come off, I, like, just put 'em back in. I guess. Not that it happens!)

                          Looks like they don't build them like they used to!

                          They do build them like they used to.

                          But if your devices had broken down in the past like all the other devices from that time, you wouldn't be telling this story. Classic survivorship bias.

                            Of course they do, otherwise they wouldn't be crimes.

                              I have wasted a bunch of time making things, but like woodworking or similar trades, it's fun and rewarding.

                              Hence, why it's not "wasted" time.

                                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.

                                Learning a new and useful skill is not "wasting" time at all.

                                  How much time it takes for a regular cad user to draw such a knob?

                                  Like 5 minutes.

                                  It is basically 2 rings and a plate with some text on.

                                    There is a brand of glue called Loctite that sells popular thread locking glues for this exact purpose and works very well. They make different strength adhesives for different applications, all their thread-locking glues start with code '2'. The common ones for general use around the home for use with small screws / nuts & bolts and removal with hand tools is 222 / 242 / 243 (higher number, larger screw/bolt gauge width).

                                    yhea, that's the exact glue i mentioned.

                                    just didn't want to use any brand name.

                                      As someone who replaced his Maker Select Plus with a Bambu Lab P1S a few months ago…if you do get a new printer, be prepared to be angry for a moment.

                                      I spent so much time and effort improving that thing over the years, and the modern printer was so much better right out of the box. 😅

                                      (Not that I don’t still have a fond place in my heart for my old bedslinger. A friend has it now, so it’s still chugging along.)

                                      Haha yea I did, actually. A few months ago I built a Voron 0.2. It's soooo much better in every way. But the MS2 is still capable, especially with upgrsdes (just not with ABS). I decided against the Bamboo route because I loved the FOSS nature of the MS2, and building the Voron brought back those 'first time building a PC vibes'. It was a great experience.

                                      I've got a Sovol Max on order, so the MK2 will probably also be donated to a friend this year.

                                          Haha yea I did, actually. A few months ago I built a Voron 0.2. It's soooo much better in every way. But the MS2 is still capable, especially with upgrsdes (just not with ABS). I decided against the Bamboo route because I loved the FOSS nature of the MS2, and building the Voron brought back those 'first time building a PC vibes'. It was a great experience.

                                          I've got a Sovol Max on order, so the MK2 will probably also be donated to a friend this year.

                                          Nice! I’ve considered a Voron, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to dedicate that much time to the printer as opposed to the printing. (I feel like I got my fill of excessive tinkering already 😅)

                                          But the closed nature of Bambu does bother me, I’ll admit.
