Oh right!! 3D printing. I had not thought of that.
I saw a youtube channel once This guy had a nice vintage radio with a chicken head knob. He made a silicone cast and then used black epoxy to make his own knob. The tools and amount of work and detail he had to do to make it look good. He had a slotted shaft so made a small spring clip inside the round hole he drilled though.
But. for 3d printing. What if you 3d printed a knob to fit on top of metal collar with a set screw already in it. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Lovejoy-LSC-10-Shaft-Collar-Plated/dp/B007JOHR9W/ref=lp_16411961_1_2?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1570770594&sr=1-2
you would need some kind of epoxy or maybe just a good friction fit to make the 3D printed part stick over this collar. And drill a hole to get to the set screw maybe. Or if you can. attach the collar and friction fit the 3D printed part over it?
