Magnetic Indicator Base Replacement Knob / Face Plate

thingiverse

This face plate and knob replaces the knob and face plate for magnetic bases that are often used for dial indicators and work lamps. These end up breaking when ever they get bumped and fall down (hopefully not when they are holding an indicator). We had a half dozen of bases without knobs at work so I quickly whipped up this model to fix them. I have provided a drawing to verify if this will work for your magnetic base. **Optional** In the first photo, you can see that I chose to color in the embossed text with a black marker. Better success could be achieved by changing the filament color after printing the first couple of layers. This should provide the lettering with much sharper contrast.
