What about the old vice grips that are now a permanent part of the stove trick?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Man, all the sinks I’ve seen over the years with vice grip knobs haha.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago

Nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix.

I'd eyeball the measurements in Blender and laugh at my crooked knob every time I use the stove.

I laugh at my crooked knob all the time.

That's at least better than his wife. She laughs and points.

Little sanding and silver Rub 'n Buff on that print will make it look a lot better and closer match to the rest.

Or even simply moving it to the middle of the set of three for less distraction.

I like to keep the 3D printed look for spare parts, because its a good conversation starter and it often blows peoples minds if you tell them how cheap it was to produce. I was able to get at least 6 people into 3D printing now that way.

And if you need guards for your knobs, I designed some after bumping mine and turning on the gas more than once.

If people have little kids, or dogs that like to “counter surf,” guards are a pretty much a must (we just took the knobs completely off when our kids were little), acquaintances of ours lost their home to fire when the dog counter surfed and turned the gas stove on. I don’t remember what caught everything on fire that was on the stove, but they lost everything, and it killed the pets too.

They should buy some paint so it matches the other knobs.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But what the hell happened to the other knob? I've done a lot of stupid shit around the stove but I can't imagine what could happen to it.

Pro tip as a 3D printer owner/user though:

Oftentimes for small elements like this you can just contact the company and they'll send you a knob or whatever. (Probably won't be that lucky on repair parts though)

But I also enjoy the pride of seeing things I've repaired and longevitized with my own equipment. :)

Well done IF_TV!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

But now it's the only one that doesn't look nicely polished, unlike the other knobs. 😁

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

If it was MY knob, it'd be polished on a daily basis.

How many of you dipshits are there?

Learn what a meme is, you guys look dumb as hell spamming posts with this

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

meme [/miːm/] is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme. A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.

Feel free to keep reading on Wikipedia, or the dictionary, or wherever you may prefer.

You, my friend, are talking wholely from your ass. You are wrong, and also you're acting like a massive fuckwad. But you're probably 12 or 14 or something, so just read the definition of a meme before you spout off? This is a screenshit that is entertaining, and in no way is it a meme. If you can find it on "knowyourmeme" I'll be happy to eat a paper hat.

Learn not to be a dickwad unless you've done your homework.

This is how literate people delineate sentences.

I simply pulled the knob off in the store & shoved the rest of the stove up my butt, later at home I printed the missing knob. It's a simple life-hack, basically everyone is doing it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is this why your meatloaf always smells funky?
