Making plastic knobs by moulding can be done well by experts. Here are pictures of a knob, one of a set of 3 for an Ekco AC97 made for me by a Dutch guy called Wim and a friend of Ben Dijkeman. When I got them they were a perfect match to the one good 'chicken' waveband knob that I had. But in 12 months they changed colour drastically. so good old Bakelite still wins for colour stability.
I asked some of the big moulding material companies about this and the reply was "it happens and there is nothing that can be done about it".
No reason to believe that anything from a 3D machine will be any better.
