    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.

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

      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

        I have a hunch that those knobs are just a thin sheet of metal wrapped around a piece of plastic, which would explain why one of the knobs broke off in the first place.

        I could be wrong, just a hunch.

        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.
