I have a 3d printer and an SDS200. Paying approx. $40 for 3 knobs is a bit ridiculous for me. Does anyone have an STL file they could share?
I checked the normal places (thingiverse, printables, google) as well as searched this forum and only found links to the ebay posts I referred to above.

I bought a bunch of them from AliExpress.
Do a search for the size of the ones you want.
Loads to choose from.
Not worth trying to make them for that price.

PLA is $11/kg. If your ali knobs cost more than one cent then it is worth it.

About a month ago, I was looking to print a replacement knob for my Yaesu 857D. I found a few STL files for various Unidens during my search. Ultimately, I printed up the UBC125XLT knob and it worked perfectly. It also works for the selector for a BCD436HP, and can be used for volume and squelch for the BCD536HP & SDS200. The bit on the end just breaks off of the shoulder, so the knob actually sits flush at the base. I did end up messing around with the scaling a bit (down to 94%) in order to get a snug fit.

This should give you a start anyways. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5117586

Good looking out. Since the internals of the small knobs and large knob are the same it may be time to get into Tinkercad and make a set publicly available.
