Bring your old-school mini fridge back to life with this faithful 3D-printed replica of a thermostat control knob, originally found on appliances from over 30 years ago!

🔧 About the Model
This is a replacement rotary knob for a vintage mini fridge thermostat, designed to closely match the original style in both size and aesthetic. The model is based on a real part from a European-made mini fridge and has been reverse-engineered for functional use.

✅ Features

• Boldly engraved labels: STOP – MIN – MED – MAX
• Tapered ergonomic grip surface
• Inner shaft cavity designed for friction-fit round thermostat stems, with a slit for compression grip
• Not intended for D-shaft connections — check your thermostat stem shape before printing
• Note: The inner shaft section is designed to be slightly movable to allow flexibility when fitting. If it's stiff after printing, gently tap it from below with a small tool to loosen it before mounting.
• Perfect for restoring old or discontinued fridge models
• Designed with multi-color text or filament swaps in mind

🖨️ Printing Tips

• Recommended Material: PETG for cold resistance and durability
• Avoid PLA: It may become brittle over time in cold, humid environments
• Print flat-side-down for best surface alignment
• Use Arachne wall generator for clear, sharp text
