Kubota Seat Adjuster Knob
We keep getting asked about this one — the seat adjuster knob is one of those Kubota parts that fails long before the rest of the unit is done. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Adjuster knobs strip on well-used seats. The factory part is made from plastic that loses its plasticisers over the years. It gets glassy, then one day it lets go under a load it used to handle easily.
How we reproduce them
This is a quick job on our end — we take dimensions from your old part, adjust for print tolerances, and run a small batch so you have spares for next time.
We print these in PETG-CF. Carbon-fibre PETG is noticeably stiffer than the stock plastic, so the part holds its shape under clamping force instead of slowly creeping loose.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
