I accidentallyed on to an etsy search for diy/3Dprinted input devices. I didn't know things had gotten so wacky. There is a charm in it.
individual images as pictured above, with links
I only included general-purpose devices to be used with a computer. There are also a lot of similar that are more particular in scope, like for gaming or music.

Anyone using, or tried using, any of these?
I am planning on getting a fader box to use with my DAW for parameter controls. Looking at the one you posted, given it’s running on open source software it could probably be programmed to send out MIDI CC messages instead of application volume.
You might have a look for actual MIDI hardware as I saw a bunch of stuff like that but I don't know much about it so didn't include.
Oh yeah I’m getting a dedicated midi box. I don’t have the smarts to go mucking around in open-source code to make it happen, and the dedicated box has its own software for adjusting CC numbers and other relevant settings.
