Very interesting. Looking at the lack of detail in 3D printed
objects, I've always thought that 3D printers would be useless
for parts that must have precise dimensions... like press-fit
knobs.

Is this for a D shaft or splined shaft ?

How does it fit ? Loose ? Tight ? Just right ?

Which make and model is the printer ?
