The two ways of fighting profiteering

He's an active initiator of the broken windows theory and thus not only a thief but acting anti-social by destroying virtues and morale and thus social safety, coherency and teamspirit. He's a selfish sociopath.

Nah it's not you, FreeCAD is perfectly usable for something like the above referenced knob but even mid-size assemblies really have problems. I personally find the workflow to be bad and irritating beyond my ability to express in words and I can't imagine how frustrating it would be as a new user to work it out for yourself while at the same time getting used to thinking of objects as collections of operations.

Sure, being a thief is bad, but one case of theft doesn't instantly make him a CEO.

I don't have a setup for ABS/ASA and been looking for affordable HT alternatives. Not sure how I haven't heard about this.
2.5x the price of PLA where i am, but not like I have better options on hand.

I really appreciate that ikea instead has no questions asked small hardware replacement. Had a bed in my storage unit for years waiting for summers to kill the old landlord's "pets". Unfortunately in that time some important bolts rusted. Made me not need to throw the whole thing out

Yep, I usually print drafts in normal PLA and only the final part in the high temp stuff, but 2.5x is often still better than buying something if there's even a solution available. So, fine for me in edge cases.

China mastered copying things well. A five pack of replacement knobs that actually match is $34 on Amazon. A crappy homemade knob for a $4000+ range is crazy.

And yet it runs with gas, as if we're still cavemen cooking meat over open fires.

Also a high probability they have a 3D printer and are super excited for something useful to do with it.

Yes, he's just a thief. The ends don't justify the means. I can't believe that needs to even be said.

To be fair, that's the case with pretty much all plastics.
Tupperware shouldn't be used to reheat food in the microwave for the same reason, yet that's it's most common use generally.
Untreated PLA is more brittle than commercial food-safe plastics though, that is true.

And Bosch makes and generally stands by their good products. Yeah they're a company, but they're not the worst!

Also, where did original knob go, I need to know.

Shoplifting is a noble crime.

Ecologically conscious would have been getting it from some shop that fixes and recycles appliances.

If the knob on your stove breaks while it's still new enough to be sold on the floor of a Home Depot? Yeah, the theft wasn't by the guy who took the knob.

[email protected]

If the knob of your new-bought stovebreaks to talk to the seller or the manufacturer and request a new knob if it was a manufacturing problem. You don't go around and steal knobs from innocents.

I ended up with 8 hobs, 2 ovens, a grill, and a drawer on mine. It was there when I moved in, and I kept it. Damn thing is built like a tank.

I've never had to use more than 2 of the hobs at once.

I use one of the ovens for storing rarely used pans and things.
