K3 Main knob friction adjustment

Hello Elecrafters,
while we are all waiting for the arrvial of the next beauty, I started
to think what's to improve on my K3 meanwhile. I realized I have always
missed a means to adjust knob friction while tuning. So I sat down and
did the construction and printing (and some iterations of that) and I
got one sample working for me now. It really makes a difference now to
tuning.
Here is my idea:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4694133
<https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4694133>

Let's see if anybody else likes to have that, too. Please send me a PM
if you do so. If there is enough interest I'm willing to put in the
effort to make it available via a printing service. The price range
might be around $20-30, depending on the material and quality.

Seasons greetings
73 Gernot DF5RF

Hi Gernot.

I just downloaded it and will 3D print it as soon as I can.

Looks like a good design and a useful feature.

Hi Alan,
thanks for the feedback - the uploaded design is not the latest one and
probably won't work. I'll upload an upgrade soon.

Re: K3 Main knob friction adjustment

Hi Gernot.

I'll hold off with the printing for now.

Still very interested to try out a fully working version.

Something I never thought of designing myself. :-)

Re: K3 Main knob friction adjustment

Hi Alan,
ok, two parts now, quite big for some reason. But I guess good enough to
give it a try.
