Wasn't sure what kind of knob I wanted, so I selected a few that I found on thingiverse...

And the chosen knob...

I also printed two of the rod clips and purchased a piece of 3/8" aluminum rod from Lowe's to guide my wires down from the top of the printer...

This was also my first time using a glue stick for the bed instead of blue painters tape. Had to re-calibrate my z-axis, but using the glue stick is so much easier than aligning strips of tape...glad I switched.

What are you using PLA or ABS?

Nice Knobs!!! Just make sure you can push that knob on the LCD in ... The following is said in a very very quiet voice - "it is also a button"
