Not familiar with exactly what you are talking about but Amazon sells universal Dknobs for $8. You put whatever size you need into the knob.

    6mm aren’t necessarily 6mm on Amazon. And when they do fit, they’re not ideal. Typically a hazard for snapping off the rod at the base, so it’s used like a key instead of a perma knob. Presently have another one, but it is 7mm.

    I think I’m going to mill one out of wood, drill a hole, place tape across part of that hole, and use resin to make the flat half. Which is ridiculous and tiresome.
