China mastered copying things well. A five pack of replacement knobs that actually match is $34 on Amazon. A crappy homemade knob for a $4000+ range is crazy.

So one is creative and solution seeking and now proud about himself and an inspiration to others and the other one -- not, but just a thief.
Just a thief?? That’s creative, solution seeking, and ecologically conscious problem solving right there

Thats going to be a squidgy mess after a long cooking session. Hope he doesn't get plastic burns.
I think something might be wrong with your oven uh... my knobs don't get anywhere near the glass point of PLA when I'm cooking something.
I've always got a spool of high temperature PLA for that, good for up to 140°C.
I don't have a setup for ABS/ASA and been looking for affordable HT alternatives. Not sure how I haven't heard about this.
2.5x the price of PLA where i am, but not like I have better options on hand.
2.5x the price of PLA where i am
Yep, I usually print drafts in normal PLA and only the final part in the high temp stuff, but 2.5x is often still better than buying something if there's even a solution available. So, fine for me in edge cases.
That's a humongous oven, must be a 10+ person household.
And yet it runs with gas, as if we're still cavemen cooking meat over open fires.

90cm.
We have one for our 4 adult, 2 kid household. Its amazing how often it's not big enough for all sorts of things.
I think 2 X 60cm ovens make more sense in hindsight and they also dont take as long to heat up
Or its the house people designated as the holiday house, maybe! Only actually used fully a few times a year.
That's my house. We have dual ovens and use them simultaneously several times a year, mostly holidays.

Channel locks, adjustable wrench, or plyers are also acceptable. Plus then ya know damned well where they are.
This is why I always buy cheap vice grips whenever I see them in a box of tools at an estate sale or something.
"Oops, I broke a handle on (thing)."
Clamps vice grips on the bit left over
"Fixed it."
Right now both of the seats in my truck just have a vice grips for the reclining lever.
I had my shower knobs as vice grips for a long while
The two types of players
Edit: Here have a funny youtube video I reminded myself of https://youtu.be/CJpsL3XbD-M
My oven is so old I came across an identical one in an e-waste pile behind a store. I stole the timer knob and mechanism so I don't need to keep using the broken one (manual only) anymore.
You didn't steal it, you 💫recycled💫.
*Reused, which is preferred to recycling even if the materials are 100% recyclable.
That's what I told to the store employee I encountered coming to work via the back door. He wasn't too happy but ultimately let me do it.
