Samsung Front-Control Knob w/ Cover

Samsung Front-Control Knob Guard (Full Cover)

By EPATA (EPATA LLC)

Front-control ranges put knobs at hip level, making it easy to bump a knob accidentally (kids, pets, or a hip check). This is a print-friendly full-cover knob guard design intended to help reduce accidental bumps or turns. It uses a base + lid and mounts with adhesive.

What this is

• Two-piece cover (base + lid) for front-control ranges
• Clear-lid option so you can see On/Off and the knob position (clear prints can be a bit cloudy)
• Designed around Samsung front-control layout; may fit others with similar spacing
• Requires adhesive to mount the base

What’s included

• Base.stl
• CoverLid.stl (or lid file in the 3MF)

Install (adhesive required)

• Clean the stove face with isopropyl alcohol and let dry
• Apply small 2–3 mm adhesive dots/squares (or thin strip) to the back of the base (keep adhesive inside the perimeter)
• Press firmly for 30–60 seconds and let the adhesive cure per product instructions before normal use

Tape I used

• Double-sided tape (cut into small squares): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJLLM9TV?tag=epata20-20

Assembly (IMPORTANT)

Don’t press the lid straight down onto both hinge barrels at the same time — you can split the hinge holder.

Snap one side first:

1. Hold the base steady
2. Snap the lid hinge onto one side
3. Repeat on the other side

Printing

• Lives near heat → PETG recommended (ASA/ABS also OK)
• PLA may soften if the area gets warm
• Print the lid in clear if you want visibility
• Smooth plate finish helps it seat better
• No supports recommended (as designed)

Notes & tips

• Fit can vary by stove — verify clearance around neighboring knobs before sticking it down
• If hinge feels tight or loose: small XY scaling changes (±1%) can help
