The secret ingredient is crime

The saving on the knob alone would pay a reasonable chunk of a basic but useful printer. Use it for a few more things and you'll be in the black even ignoring the more fun things you might do. The time it takes to learn a CAD system can also be fun if you enjoy that sort of thing.

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

Or do the lazy thing, and just keep borrowing other knobs.

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.

I was thinking the same thing? Who are these animals that somehow destroy a metal knob on a commercial-style $8000 Bosch oven that is made of stainless steel?!

My only guess is that they have children who steal the knobs and flush them down the toilet or something. But the knobs on those high end models are pretty huge which means they would probably get stuck and refuse to flush down.

There was this one time when I needed to replace a specific part of a dog bike trailer. I contacted the company: the creator of the trailer, who happened to live in my neighbourhood came to my place to give me a piece from the prototype he still had in his workshop.

Eh eh, I mean someone who can draw quite good, not a beginner.

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.

Those knobs probably aren’t metal, but plastic with a metal plating.

I would have said the same thing but the enshitification isn't just for the web anymore - I had a 'quality' name brand refrigerator and snapped the drawer down the front because I pulled on it a little too hard. Those things used to be bulletproof but now they're flimsy crap.

I need to figure out how to do cad/3d printing, cuz I'm begining to lose control! Well, I've already lost CTRL on both sides of my keyboard because the keycap sleeve broke and it constantly falls off the switch (cherry mx red).

Ours is a cheap model, but the knobs are held on with a plastic housing inside the knob similar to that middle plastic tube that holds keycaps center on keyboards. Im constantly worried its going to break when i take them off to clean.

Yep happen to our fridge. Not mention it quit working after 2 years of use. Now buy mine off FB market place. Why bother buying new.

People with toddlers often keep the knobs off as a form of baby proofing, when the kiddos are tall enough to reach but not old enough to listen. It's then easy to lose a knob that isn't in the right place.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I think if you have young children you shouldn’t have a high end range like this (especially gas). A standard range with the knobs at the back where they’re much harder to reach would be a lot safer.

I completely forgot until now that my daughter used to steal the knob from our dishwasher on a near daily basis. I remember confiscating it one morning and accidentally bringing it to work in my pocket.

Sometimes people have kids after moving into a place/buying things, too.

Kinda depends on your environment, a lot of plastics are susceptible to degrading in certain temperatures, humidity levels, or especially from being left in direct sunlight.
