Often you need to print and work with screws or handles that have to be rotated and tightened by hand. Usually, they have sharp edges and a limiter grip capability turning the tightening into a pure pain. This is why I designed this customizable "flower" knob with three main features in mind:
1.Pleasent to touch;
3.Pleasent to look at;
5.Easy to grip.
You can either use the customizer to produce an .stl file needed for your design, or you can download the .scad file and use it as a library:
use <FlowerKnob.scad>; height = 8; // Height of the knob
diameter = 30; // Approximate diameter of the knob
numberOfPetals = 6; // Number of petals of the knob (default: 6)
roundingRadius = 2; // Radius of the corner rounding (default: 2
curvatureFactor = 0; // Defines how bulgy or flat are the petals. (default: 0). Positive values increase bulginess while negative — decrease it.
$fn = 20; // at least 20, preferably more.flowerKnob(height, diameter, numberOfPetals, roundingRadius, curvatureFactor);
The provided .stl files demonstrate the generated model for a few different input values.
