The secret ingredient is crime
-
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.

crimes don't care about "ethics"
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).
Just adding this info for anyone else looking for a similar solution.
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.)
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

compooter + printer still go brrrrrrrrrrr
More of a brrrrr zoop zoop eeeeeeep save me brrrr doop ding please zrrriiippp scooop

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.

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.

I don't think there's anything in that story to be sorry about.
There is, you need to wash vegetables before you eat them

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.

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.

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.
The same but for my broken Xbox, after a little sticker art.

The stock knobs are most likely plastic already, but I do agree the black knob looks stupid. It would probably look a lot better to print matching replacements for all of them.

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.

You can dip it in shiny paint too. Its not stainless steel but its good enough

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...
Well initially I was gonna guess North Eastern Coastal, or perhaps some of the less known accents from Western Appalachia but I've known folks from around Bakersfield who pronounced water, butter, and creeks like ya so I ain't got no fucken clue. It's one of those things where its got overlaps with but not totality with accents I do know, even my own accent does the budder thing. But now I ain't so certain.

190 celsius, I'd like to add.
