    Understood - this is why I wondered. I use blue tape sometimes on my bed but it doesnt give that texture (gives 'some' texture but that came out nice). So was wondering.

    Yes, it's pretty neat Carl. I really like this Bambu printer. The removable print plates are great, they have several available. They are pretty thin, like 18 gauge and they attach magnetically to the main bed. The best part is; when the print is done you can get the plate to flex by removing it from the main bed, the flex breaks the printed part loose form the plate, easy-peasy.

    The printer was retirement gift from my company, I had a Flashforge before this. No comparison, it's now at my sons house.

    Exactly my wife's and I exact words 2 minutes ago. SMC never ceases to amaze me with the generosity and tight community here. I'm proud to be a member of SMC and look forward to visiting almost every day after a long day of work.

    Dan, I can't express how appreciative I am to see you donate your time and energy to help others and myself out to make a good tool into an amazingly useful tool! Just an amazing place here at SMC....I guess I already said that.

    Thanks all for the kind words. I have been incredibly blessed in life, I have spent my life learning, earning and growing as a person for 45+ years of working. I have now reached the point in life here I can give back to others. I love to solve problems and design solutions to those problems. That was my career as an automation engineer and it's just stuck to me now. I've added a little feature that should make it easy for the folks about to get their knobs. I have included a brass threaded insert that is heat set into the knob, included will be a brass set screw and allen wrench that will allow securing the "over knob" to the original. I'm waiting for some boxes, tape and allen wrenches (Come on Amazon). Once those arrive, I'll be sending these out.

    Nice modification Dan! I am very happy with mine - I suppose I have the only "original" handle, and perhaps my children can sell it on eBay for big bucks after I am gone!
