When an artificer and a rouge are faced with the same problem.
Edit: my english sucks
What does makeup have to do with this?
Rogue is not spelled rouge.
I think you replied to the wrong person. They know.
DM: Roll a D20 for a stealth check.
Rouge: I bat my eyelashes.
DM: Huh, I misread your character sheet. I'll allow it.
I feel like an artificer would be skilled in the application of rouge. As well as foundation and eyeliner.

I'd eyeball the measurements in Blender and laugh at my crooked knob every time I use the stove.
You're still putting too much work into this. Just heat up the metal shaft where the knob was with a torch and press any old hunk of thermo plastic onto it. Now you have janky done even more quick and cheap.
I laugh at my crooked knob all the time.
I also laugh at it.
That's at least better than his wife. She laughs and points.
What about the old vice grips that are now a permanent part of the stove trick?
Nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix.

I simply pulled the knob off in the store & shoved the rest of the stove up my butt, later at home I printed the missing knob. It's a simple life-hack, basically everyone is doing it.

Channel locks, adjustable wrench, or plyers are also acceptable. Plus then ya know damned well where they are.
This is why I always buy cheap vice grips whenever I see them in a box of tools at an estate sale or something.
"Oops, I broke a handle on (thing)."
Clamps vice grips on the bit left over
"Fixed it."
Right now both of the seats in my truck just have a vice grips for the reclining lever.
I had my shower knobs as vice grips for a long while
Still cheaper than getting a 3D printer and filament and stuff. And CAD/CAM software.
The type of person to do this most likely already has a 3d printer, and cad software is free for personal use. The electricity and filament cost for this part would be a few cents and it would take minutes to print on modern printers
Even if you didn't have a 3d printer it would be significantly cheaper to use a 3d printing service to order the part, than to buy OEM replacement knob

It's true that you should not expect to save money in the short or long run with 3d printing as a hobby, but if it's your thing then it's nice to have a hobby that's occasionally useful. Also, autodesk fusion is free for consumer use.
I wouldn't say I've made back my investment on 3D printing in the past half a decade I've done it. But in terms of "prints for friends" like this one above I may be close. Plus there's just something nice about going "I need a measuring cup for dog food" and printing one to the exact serving size.

I wish I had pockets big enough to replace the flimsy Bosch drawers in my fridge that start to shatter as soon as you pull just a tiny bit harder than normal.
There are 3d models for some fridge drawers. I have a Frigidaire with similarly flimsy drawers and found a model for them.
