3D Printed knob for Inon Z240

Hy guys,

As 3D printing is now popular and price friendly, here is small project from Slovenia UW photographer Grega Verč. He made knob for Inon strobes which made my life easier. I bet it will make yours too:)

Thanks for shearing, they fit prefect on the strobe knobs.

thanks for sharing

So nice of him to share, i'll definitely try those :-D

Is it supposed to fit also mode dial or power output dial only?

If I google for "knob inon z 240" I find knobs from a Dutch dive shop that glow in the dark. Does anyone know from what material they are made? Is it available for 3D printing (the above mentioned knobs look like self-made)?

Thanks,

Jock

There are glow in the dark 3d printing materials. Check out 3dhubs.com for a hub who is near you with glowing filament. I know I have glowing PLA which is the same type of plastic as water bottles.

Great extra info thanks :-)

jahjahwarrior,

thanks for pointing me to 3dhubs - it is just the service I was looking for. Today I received my Inon knobs made of glow-i-the dark filament; they fit perfect.

Just a hint: When ordering these knobs it may be a good idea to ask for 100% fill (=solid). Seems that a standard fill is only 20%, so there might be the possibility that the knobs will crack or lose shape or whatever deep down. I was charged less than 20 cent extra per knobs.

No problem, I do 3d printing as a side job at hub Astronaut Studios.

You could probably also just ask for additional outside layers but for something small, 100%infill is not difficult and yes will make a much better long term print for setting going underwater. Startup fee is way beyond the filament fees at that size so order 10 and have spares for a lifetime.

Makes good small gifts too
