Hi All,
I'm a new member to this forum so I'd like to kick off by pushing my first 3D printer project - Lucas Light Switch knobs.
Click here , download the files and get printing.
I'd like some feedback to know how many people this helps, does it work etc.

Cheers

Nice, David. No printer here yet.

There's a "C" one too, for choke.
 
Thanks and welcome to the BCF!
 
Nice! I hang out on Thingiverse a lot.

My Makerbot is on the fritz right now, but should be working again soon. I'll print one when the printer is running...thanks!
 
The Choke knob doesn't fit like a light switch & that also goes for the starter.
However now that you mention it, they do have the same generic shape but don't have the hexagonal shaft hole.
Maybe I'll add a couple of knobs with S/C but without the holes. They could then be drilled/glued to the relevant cables.
 
I've "retrofitted" the old threaded knobs to newer cable shafts by removing the newer knob and rethreading the shaft.
