This model turn a normal potentiometer into multi-turn potentiometer, because some time you want to make an enclosure for a board that come with trimpot, but adjusting trimpot is a pain and multi-turn potentiometers are expensive.

  • Re-use the original trimpot on your board so you have the exact value needed, no need to buy a potentiometer with that value again
  • Re-use any potentiometer you have laying around as its value doesn't matter for this mod

Cannot find a way to make a strong latch that doesn't snap-off when assembling so I've added 2 holes for securing with zip-tie or metal wire as pictured. It actually snap on, but can be shaken loose with enough force so I recommend doing this.
