Seed hopper slide gate knob

Slide-gate metering adjusters on drills, spreaders and applicators.

1Why it fails

What goes wrong with the original.

The knob splits where it is moulded onto the stud, usually because it has been forced when the slide is seized with fertiliser residue. Once the knob goes the slide cannot be set.

2 · Material

ASA

Outdoor and fertiliser-adjacent. ASA resists both UV and the mildly corrosive dust that fertiliser leaves on everything.

3 · How it is printed

Orientation, infill and fixings

Brass heat-set insert for the stud so the thread cannot strip out of plastic. Knurled grip printed for gloved hands.
