I like to keep the 3D printed look for spare parts, because its a good conversation starter and it often blows peoples minds if you tell them how cheap it was to produce. I was able to get at least 6 people into 3D printing now that way.
And if you need guards for your knobs, I designed some after bumping mine and turning on the gas more than once.

If people have little kids, or dogs that like to “counter surf,” guards are a pretty much a must (we just took the knobs completely off when our kids were little), acquaintances of ours lost their home to fire when the dog counter surfed and turned the gas stove on. I don’t remember what caught everything on fire that was on the stove, but they lost everything, and it killed the pets too.
Yeah, we had a different stove when our kids were small, and it had the knobs at the back of it.
I think some newer stoves will automatically shut off after a certain amount of time when the gas is on but no flame is detected.
