A while back someone posted some made of aluminum that were anodized the proper color and shape. They looked nice. 


That would be me. A former MooneySpace member made it to my specifications.

Do you think he’d still make some ?

I got to see if I can find his name first. It was over 3 years ago and he had just sold his Mooney. He also made a bunch of us those fire extinguisher holders.

I’ll look when I get back to my PC.

Like I said - If you guys get me a picture of the lever and dimensions on it - and an idea of what you want the handle to be (I see a few versions) it's only a few minutes in CAD to draw it up and 45-1hr to print it...

There's a mixture lever based off a 60s money pic I found... Guessing the lever is about 1" flatbar with a 1/4" hole? Fusion 360 says I spent 8 minutes on it... With rendering. 38 minute print with a .8 nozzle on my railcore.

Looks great, what about a maple leaf shaped mixture   :)

Some people 3D print. I prefer wood, because I can carve things that are difficult to draw . . .  This is a radio volume knob for a friend's Mercedes with his name carved into it.

Nothing's impossible ;)

But when you can print in wood filament... The details can get even finer ;)

But it's still plastic, no grain, reduced strength, colors from dye. The radio knob is natural colored paduak from Central America, with a little paint used to bring out the carving. Posted here, there's much more detail visible than when I carved it with magnification. Could have done better cleaning up the paint . . . . . It bled too much into the grain . . . . .

Takes paint, stains, sands carves and glues like wood. 

I've been playing with the graining, the 3d print actually adds a grain so to speak in layer lines, so it's fairly easy to create a grain texture appearance.

Is that the generally preferred design? Or did someone have an idea that they'd prefer? Hexagonal is easy, just the question of stock or something nicer.
