China has also mastered modern slave labor. That someone makes thier own replacement instead of ordering some small uncomplicated part from across the globe isn't crazy, it's self-reliant and smart.
But that's, like, just my opinion man.
I’m sure the prison firefighters out in California are real mad about China mastering modern slave labor
Oh I would go for the OEM part ten times out of ten, especially for such a nice appliance. Instead this person opted to make some plastic waste that will eventually be in the Ocean after we are all long dead.

I have a hunch that those knobs are just a thin sheet of metal wrapped around a piece of plastic, which would explain why one of the knobs broke off in the first place.
I could be wrong, just a hunch.
I definitely agree that less plastic = better in general. But if you're going to 3d print stuff, at least this is functional.
And I'm not here to argue. God it is nice to have a civil discussions on social media.
