How much time it takes for a regular cad user to draw such a knob?
Like 5 minutes.
It is basically 2 rings and a plate with some text on.
Lol "regular CAD user"
I mean, we exist.
There's dozens of us! Dozens!
Eh eh, I mean someone who can draw quite good, not a beginner.
Below chad CAD user.
I spent less than an hour to design these guards for our stove, and most of the time was on how it looked. I wanted it to be functional, but not look too out of place.

That link doesn’t load for me? I’m really interested in what you designed. I tried turning my WiFi off and use cellar in case my pihole was interfering but that didn’t load either. Any chance the link formatting got messed up or something?

Not sure why it's not working for you. I tried it with a couple of browsers in incognito mode and it works fine for me.
Also, holy crap, there is a ton of useful stuff on that site, I had no idea, I am starting to feel like I need a 3d printer now. Wow. I wish I could get a really good quality one for less but I would rather buy once and hurt once. There are a lot of creative ideas I would have never even thought of from a practical use standpoint.
Weird, I can get to it now. Thank you so much for following up and sorry for wasting your time. Those guards are really cool, it isn’t what I envisioned at all, your approach is really sleek!
Thanks. And yeah, Thingiverse and Printables (and others, but those are my two go-to's) have tons of useful items as well as fun things.
