cut the rounds from paper

tip:use a extra hard paper for first one , perfect it

glue to the case feet

Finishing with POT shaft fitting .The other side we nee to make the shaft fit

wrap a pot say 1K potentiometer shaft with thin paper ,put in the middle of knob and fill hot glue

after 10min hot glue will attach both ,

now gently pull the POT the shaft paper will tearoff and we will be left with nice fitting hole .

while deploying these after all pots mounted to case use a small paper packing /heatshrink packing for friction fit !
