#Is there a way to achieve tactile feedback like this with 3d printing?

I'm trying to make a knob/dial and I want to to snap to different positions
shadow quiver
this seems like more of a software/pcb question then 3d printing related question, a knob can be printed
the electronics, not really

I mean achieve the snapping action mechanically rather than using a motor, i just cant find another good example of what i mean

theres these print in place circular springs you can print kind off deal, i doubt itll be very precise however
and having it go both way seems hard to do

Can you link it
and yeah I dont need a ratchet

Can you link it
i wouldnt know just a loose one, but yes it would be like a ratchet

these things also move in steps, not sure how
shadow quiver
im not sure how they actually work internally
that is what most lcd screens on printers use though

Use what?

I see, my printer doesnt have any knobs
If you ever had a dslr camera, the dial also snaps in steps
shadow quiver
i have not sorry
worn cape
I suspect there is some kind of disc spring in there or something
shadow quiver
oh yeah i just tried turning my knob a tiny step and it forces it into the next or previous
interesting

this is also an encoder i beleive which is what the guy in the video you linked mentions
worn cape
the video uses and actual motor that pushes it into place

these things also move in steps, not sure how
these things work without power, probably permanent magents
I cant relaly use 20 magnets for one dial tho, would be very expensive
Need some kind of mechanical way with notches and snapping

the dial on my screen isnt powered and did what i described earlier

How many positions does it have roughly?
worn cape
lol I need 20 so maybe I should just buy one of these
this is what it looks like inside camera
and then a spring like this I think
i wonder if I could 3d print that
shadow quiver
the ridged thing, most likely

the ridged thing, most likely
I mean both, print a thin circle with 2 bumps on it that would act as a spring
Not as good as metal... but it might workk

im a bit out my depth in this regard so i wish you luck 😛
worn cape
I've already printed the dented dial so I just need the spring

You were great help, thanks

if theres anything i can help with that doesnt require cad or physics lmk lmao
