Could someone point me in the right direction to get started on projects like this? Specifically I have an old Emerson CRT that the volume/power knob is missing on and it's impossible to find an OEM replacement. I've been dreaming about getting into 3D printing to print my own, but I don't know where to even begin considering I would need the exact dimensions of the D shaft and then to model something. Appreciate any help, thank you in advance <3

Back in the day, that was solved with a vice grips. This is because vice grips are the wrong tool for everything, but the right tool for not having to go find the right tool.
