Welcome fellow prototypers! This communities' purpose is to help others and share functional 3D Printing related information. While other 3D Printing Communities are a good resource, sometimes too many help posts get buried under memes and fluff. This will remain technically focused and keep the fluff removed. Please help your fellow 3D Printer hobbyists as much as you can with their issues! and showcase your functional prints and how you use or created them.

Knobs for M3, M4, M6, M8 by PrintedLabs (www.thingiverse.com)

Various knobs for cylinder head screws with M3/M4/M6 or M8 thread. For explanation, I have designed two different versions. The standard version has a hexagon socket integrated in the knob. The screw is inserted or glued onto this, whereby the thread length of the screw remains the same. The "thread" - version is for high stress when turning with a very large torque. For this purpose, the screw is screwed into the knob and glued in place. This shortens the screw by approx. 5 mm, but the connection is extremely strong and resilient.

Those are neat! I wouldn't imagine them being heavy duty, but for light duty, they'd work well. Maybe a touch of glue would help.
