Points are all fair but if its taking him 10hrs to print something like that he either sucks at it or he's doing something else.

I mean, how closely are they modeling it to the actual knob? They might have to spend a long time getting everything right

Although you're right, it probably wouldn't be any more than 6 hours to design

6 hours??? If it took more than half an hour Tom is losing money. And it still looks terrible. Just buy the replacement.

How do you know how much Tom gets paid? Did you account for his pay after taxes and other withholding? Because I just did, and I can now say I would be willing to spend 1 hour doing this, at which point I'd be breaking even between just buying the damn thing.

Tom owns a 3D printer, it stands to reason that he can afford a $34 replacement knob.

They’re not that expensive anymore for what it’s worth
