[ARC5] Tuning knob

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

Do it on a resin printer …. It’s small enough that you would get
quite a few out of a $150 bottle of resin. How long the gizmo 
would last …. who knows. How many you would have to womp 
up before you got it all right …. yikes …..

Maybe we get Formlabs to add it as a model in their free sample 
program. Rather than getting a chess piece as a demo part, they
send you an ARC-5 tuning knob.
