Hot Water Tank Pilot Knob

A custom made knob and button to operate your hot water tanks ignition system pilot. If your knob button is broken or too small or sharp to easily turn or push down on, then this upgraded design is perfect! It features a robust hexagonal knob with extruded beveled points to make it easy for any hand to get a firm grip on. The large flat top makes pushing down on the trigger painless and easy to get a balance on compared to the painful sharp edge on standard switches. There is an arrow on the top that will point to whether the knob is positioned to select the ON, PILOT, or OFF setting

I suggest printing in PETG which is known for it's strength. This design maximizes all possible strength that could be engineered into the design, however the limited space for the shaft limits the thickness of the shafts walls. PLA should do, but may break if the pilots metal turn switch is seized.

Suggestions for Ratings and Reviews:

Please take a moment to write why you are rating the value you choose, especially if less than 5 stars. This not only helps any creator improve a design to further benefit your future use, but also helps fellow consumers make their own determinations and modifications where necessary. A mere standalone rating of less than 5-star helps no one, as no one is aware as to why you are displeased and where the shortcoming is. It may even help you better understand your printer and how to utilize it as an issue may often lie with the preparations you have made or failed to make.
