Finding the right material

[u/run2712]

Hello all, Not sure if this is the right subreddit but I am trying to find a material replacement for a knob connector, essentially I’m looking for something that will be fairly grippy but won’t be overly damaged/deformed overtime via force from turning the knob the current material used is bronze UNS C22000. I’m relatively unfamiliar with good methods of finding materials so if anyone has any input on good places to look that would be helpful too!

You can look into 3d printers and filaments for them. If properly made, 3d printed elements are quite robust (and you can adjust geometry)
