[sdiy] - Moog knobs - I can print knobs!

[Ullrich Peter]

Hi!

For most of the people in the net – that’s why they write moog style knobs:

Old fashioned knobs that haven’t changed their design in the last 50 years and are still used by moog synthesizers.

Yes, you can buy lots of such clones for cheap, sometimes also the quality is “cheap” – ready for the waste bin I would say.

Hey, 3D printing is not a case for low price banging – it is more for customizing a gadget in a style/color/material you want to have.
A synth module prototype with wood panel and pine knobs would look cool for me…

Ciao
Peter

What exactly are "moog style knobs" ?
Some very specific form I'm not aware of, or just good ol' bakelite knobs?

The latter are still made by chinese for prices probably a lot lower than the cost of making them with a 3D printer and getting them to look as nice.

Search for "bakelite potentiometer" or "bakelite knob" on ebay / international search.
Various sizes and forms...

Can you beat that price, includig work for polishing? ;)
