Shower Knob Trouble And 3D Print Solutions On The Double

Upon my afternoon shower,
I discovered it lost power.

I found with a with a frown,
that the water would neither go up nor down.

The knob was spinning around,
making a cute little sound.


I got it working again,
But I cam make it better - of yes I can.

I already created a new design,
with multiple parts to make it shine.

I like creatively re-designing some part,
it certainly is a form of art.


The copper rod that holds the knob out,
needs a sleeve to square it - without a doubt.

A generic solution will demand a lighter,
to heat up the PLA to make it fit tighter.

And then over the squared rod,
I will slip a design that anybody can mod.


This will be a generic solution,
it will help millions with their ablution.

The square will accept many knob styles,
and help people shower with smiles.

I am thinking about a lion's head,
but may start with something abstract instead.


I will use white plastic to 3D print mine,
but that is not actually part of the design.

It can be printed with metal-like PLA fillament,
and that certainly is money well spent.

My new design is sure to restore old showers,
and return them to their former powers.


I like fixing things,
giving old designs new wings.

3D modeling and printing is magical,
especially when the result is practical.

Perhaps my little poem can inspire you to learn Blender,
and get an Ender.
