You did the knob on a filament printer? I have been looking at 3d printers and wondering how well the filament printers can do threads. They look really good to me.

modeling is easy, those are perfect. Printing has many variables. You can use a super fine nozzle i.e. 0.1mm but printing time increases. The robotics team printed quarter scale servo splines, eg 25 splines on a 1.4" hub with 0.4 (default) and 0.3mm nozzles and I was impressed. So yeah super fine threads are tough, but you can always run a tap through as well if you print things smaller.
for this knob, easier to print two flat surfaces and join them rather than worrying about removing support material. Lots of decent printers to tinker with for not a very large investment these days.
