Beschreibung

The Original VFO Knob of the KX2 does Not feel good when you try to Spin to a new frequency. 

This remix of my QMX VFO Knob is a bit bigger to use the available space at the Front of the KX2 and contains a dimple for your finger. 

I fits tight to the enoder shaft, but you could fix it with a Socket screw, if needed. 

Additional needed Material: 

2x M2.5 x 4mm socket screw (Madenschraube)

 
Knobs

Material: PETG
Layerhigh: 0,1 mm
Infill: 100%

Additional Settings: Ironing for nicer surface

Softgrip Ring

In order to put the flat part on the print bed, turn the model 180° around before slicing.
(otherwise it will put the roundet top of the ring onto the print bed.

Material: TPU
Layerhigh: 0,1 mm
Infill: 100%

Assembly:

First mount the hard inner knob-core to the radio and fix them with a M2.5x4 socket screw.
The holes are wide enough, a thread is not needed, the screw will do it alone, do not overtighten the screw. Next step is to slip the soft knurled TPU ring over the hard knob core.
