I’ve had the idea kicking around of making custom shaped knobs, and with some of the 3d printer talk lately, I wonder if I could throw some questions out there to all you great people?
- I hadn’t planned to get into 3D printing, but I had in mind designing a knob shape myself, then having a batch of them printed, making a silicone mold from the printed batch, then casting them in resin to replicate in small batches… there’s probably parts of this plan that don’t make sense because I don’t have any 3D experience or resin experience. Any thoughts?
- Has anyone here done any custom knobs with any other methods? I’ve searched a bit, but haven’t really been able to find sources for brass inserts or (Boss style) reflective discs for knob tops…
- What is everyone using their 3D printers for? I’m super curious.
