I work in a rubber molding plant where we make aerospace parts, and the quality control on them are far more strict than the parts we make for automotive. The material matters more than any flaws in the molding. Not all rubbers can be used for the same application. I'd barely trust a 3D printed volume knob for the radio, what kind of retard would use a 3D printer to make an engine component?

Knobs are fine
For a car radio, but an airplane radio is essential for keeping people alive.
No radio is OK, depending on the airspace. Still wouldn't use 3D printed parts for radio knobs or any part in a plane.
