New knob for the Organelle

The knob we were able to find commercially was just too small and plain, so we designed and 3D-printed a much bolder knob.

The knob design is published on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1160160

Obviously we need to redesign and reprint the panel markings to accommodate this much larger knob.

The knob was designed using OnShape.com, a new (still in beta) parametric 3D CAD system that's free to use with almost no restrictions. Worth checking out.
