Audio device manufacturer Teenage Engineering publishes free CAD files for knobs and widgets, allowing you to print your own replacement parts.
The shipping costs for the OP-1 accessories were prohibitively high for the Stockholm-based company, so it seemed natural to simply supply the CAD files. Several CAD files are now available as free downloads on Shapeways, in STEP and STL format. The files are free to download, or you can choose to have Shapeways print the pieces for you for a fee.

All of a sudden, the new world thinking emerges.
- If I use a few of these on something NOT an OP-1.... will I have violated some strange legal agreement?
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
