nice knob print, this could benefit a lot from some acetone vapor smoothing, to take out the grainy-ness and match it better with he smooth finish of the originals.
but a cool print nonetheless!!

I've been messing around with printing faceplates for pedals.

Had some promising results so far.




I really dig those little control labels

Resin print of the same mutron knob, it even did the splined shaft part.

You could print up Nigel Tufnel knobs that go to eleven.

For occasions where you need a reverse log taper pot and they are difficult to get in the value and form factor you want, print up a set of two spur gears to reverse the rotation of the knob.  You can hide this under the surface of the effect or put it prominently on the front for a steampunk pedal effect.

Such a gear could be used to turn volume down when the gain goes up

You could make the most difficult part of a wah pedal - the rack and pinion and the slider that keeps them meshed with each other.  Since you can control the design, you could make it an internal or external spur gear so you have a pedal and gear as a single unit without the pivot you need for a rack.
