Spike Control Knob for Monoprice MP Select Mini 3D Printer

thingiverse

The stock LCD control knob for the MP Select Mini is terrible, so I created this better control knob as drop-in replacement. This knob is much easier to use and the pattern has maximum grip. There are various other control knobs for this printer on Thingiverse, however I found some of these did not fit well or were not very grippy. I did a bunch of test prints for various hole sizes and designs to find one which attachedsnugly, but not too tight. I can't guarantee that your prints will be identical, but this one fit great for me. Pry off the old knob using fishing line, dental floss, or as I did, using a sharp knife to gently rock each side until it came off. I've also included the 123D Design file for anyone who might want to remix or modify. Print Settings Printer: Monoprice MP Select Mini Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.1mm or 0.2mm Infill: 20% Notes: The spike pattern comes out well on both 0.1mm and 0.2mm resolution, the spikes are slightly sharper and the fit is slightly looser at 0.1mm - print to your preference. A few makers recommended to position so that the hole is up. I was able to print fine as-is without supports, but you can decide which way you prefer.
