Description

The dial for my bathroom fan timer broke. It's an older model: a metal post with a slit down the center that results in two “D” shaped pieces. I couldn't find one that would fit (3d printed or at the big box store) so I made my own. Here it is in case you need it too!

In case your post is different than mine, I've included the F360 files for you to make any modifications you need. My apologies in advance - professional modeler I am not.

Just what I needed. Mine had yellowed after 35 years of use. I did lower the crossbar inside by 4mm and added slots perpendicular to the bar to allow the it fit closer to the wall. Good for another 35 years now. Thanks

Glad it helped - and those are some great modifications! Nice work!

@Triassic_Prints

Could you share your print/3D file? I seem to have an older dimmer as well.

Replying to @Triassic_Prints :

I've never posted anything before but just gave adding a remix a try. Hopefully I did it correctly and it will show up here shortly.

Out of curiosity, which part was too small? Was the fit too tight to install? or was the diameter of the overall dial too small? FWIW, I thought I had sized mine off the old one but it DOES visually look a smidge small on the wall. That said, we found we liked the smaller size (and it feels sturdier than the original) so I’ve kept it. Hope it works for ya!
