    I freaking love it
    Now that you have done one
    Should be easy to replicate and
    Make them cheaper
    Hint hint hint

    Thanks for all the compliments, They can be replicated, but not much cheaper, very labor intensive for the machinist as they were each all done by hand. Money was no issue for me as the outcome is incredible. I think i can save money with the 3D print master if he saved the data to make the plastic inserts.

    I like it. I agree it gives it a very aircraft feel, but I say that not knowing anything about aircraft. It seems like they are thicker than the originals. Is that true?
    I might also anodize them black if they were mine.

    They are a bit chunkier than the originals, because of the plastic insert. They feel nice and solid!! Maybe more Pagani than Aircraft.

    Thanks, they are on pretty darn tight and dont twist, but can be removed just by pulling on them like the original knobs. Everything was so precisley done with the 3D print and machining
