China mastered copying things well. A five pack of replacement knobs that actually match is $34 on Amazon. A crappy homemade knob for a $4000+ range is crazy.
China has also mastered modern slave labor. That someone makes thier own replacement instead of ordering some small uncomplicated part from across the globe isn’t crazy, it’s self-reliant and smart.
Oh I would go for the OEM part ten times out of ten, especially for such a nice appliance. Instead this person opted to make some plastic waste that will eventually be in the Ocean after we are all long dead.
Completely agree that Amazon garbage is terrible for humanity
It goes farther than that! The 34$ 5 pack is only that price because its already here in america to be shipped in a day or two. It came from china, where you can order the same thing for 1-5% of the price if you are willing to wait a month to receive it.
I was gonna bitch about it too but the cheaper Bosch ranges use the same knobs. It’s an off the shelf part that Bosch is charging a ridiculous premium for.

And Bosch makes and generally stands by their good products. Yeah they’re a company, but they’re not the worst!
Also, where did original knob go, I need to know.
Some things are better left unknown.

But that’s, like, just my opinion man.

I definitely agree that less plastic = better in general. But if you’re going to 3d print stuff, at least this is functional.
And I’m not here to argue. God it is nice to have a civil discussions on social media.
Sorry if I came off as argumentative. That certainly wasn’t my intent.
I was just trying to make the point that this person spent a lot of time and effort to do something subpar with plastic.
You didn’t seem argumentative to me at all. I’m genuinely happy to disagree about something and:
-just have it be civil
-no one takes it personally
-we find things we can agree on
