I frequently use my BernzOmatic torch with the standard torch head that comes with it and it has a little tiny knob. The tiny knob works fine, but I like to make sure my torch is tight when I turn it off so sometimes its a pain to open the valve (especially one handed). So I quickly prototyped this gear to fit the knob. 

 

This fit worked well from my printer, it was just tight enough to be pressed on. Not really sure if it will come off easily though, you may have to break the print. Add a little lube if you want to be able to easily remove it in the future. 

 

Printed on 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height.

 

Suggestion: Someone could remix this and add a small bevel to the top and bottom of the print. My print is kind of “sharp” on the edges, but it would require a good effort to get it off so I'm not going to bother reprinting.
