Product Description
A whole set, of replacement slider button knobs. For the Sharp VZ-2000 Stereo Boombox. 3D printed. Some after-finishing is necessary because each knob will need to be separated from the sprue but it's best to keep them like this for easier painting, if painting is desired. Can be used as-is, of course. Since you will receive an entire set, you won't have to mix and match with the ones currently on your unit (if any left).
The default material choice is "smoothest" fine-detail plastic which is the pricing you see. Alternately, you can choose "smooth" fine-detail plastic which is cheaper but won't be as smooth. I tried to show the detail in the closeup photo but because the finish is matte, very difficult for the camera to pick up the detail but in my opinion, is very good.
Installation notes: The factory knobs are cast from a mold, and therefore, each knob is dimensionally identical to the cast. However, in the 3D process, I have found that there can be slight variations from print batch jobs, perhaps due to printer calibration tolerances and changes over time, etc. This may require you to adjust the tang thickness' if they are end up printing too thick. It won't be by much, but the fit on these shafts to the receptacles need to be very precise otherwise they could be too tight making it very difficult to remove if forcibly installed. I suggest that if you feel the shaft is too tight, shave off a little using a nail file, needle file or sandpaper. Take off a little at a time until you get a good fit.
