So I designed a replacement knob for the lid using FreeCAD.

View attachment 18299

The center hole was designated as being threaded for the US standard 1/4 inch screw. I then printed the knob using PetG. Why PetG? The softening point for PetG is well above the boiling point of water. Thus the lid will be dishwasher safe.

The STL files can be found in the R2 Mods and Upgrades area (sticky thread!) I snipped out some of the extruder cover to get it to snap back in place.

The two bins are the same "vase" file but scaled differently. ( File is from Thingiverse.com )

The bracket was modeled on the FreeCAD software since it was a "one of a kind" project.

And they were both printed in PLA.

As I began working on the printers I had to switch over to metric and required quite a bit of storage to keep everything organized. For those that would like to organize their work as well.
