Knob for Gorenje Microwave Oven

I cook a lot. Big portions. Lots of good food. Yummers. So much food that I usually end up having leftovers. As many of my fellow food enjoyers, I prefer most of my meals warm - so I end up heating said leftovers with one of my favourite kitchen appliances: The microwave. But even the best kitchen appliances can only take so much abuse before they eventually give in - and disaster strikes. In my case, the rotary plastic knob broke. The microwave itself still worked fine, but needing a set of pliers to turn it on every time was a deterioration of my otherwise perfectly efficient cooking workflow I just could not accept.

This model here is a rotary knob for the Gorenje Microwave Oven (Model BM171E2XG, Type XY717Z). Riveting. Print instructions - Printer: Bambu P1S

- Filament: PLA Matte

- Print profile: 0.20mm Strength

Note: I replaced the knob with my PLA replacement about a year ago and it's still working perfectly fine despite daily use. I did expect it would be broken already, but it seems the PLA is a lot more solid than I thought. Still, I'd recommend to use a more solid material to be sure it won't break too soon. Or just print a few more and keep them as backup.
