I've repaired this knob once but it needs replacing now and the prices
I've found so far seem rather silly. The model number is WDJ1285 and the
part is called something like a dryer timer indicator (part # 526 on the
diagrams, I think)
Any suggestions for places selling at a reasonable price?

If you have any CAD skills, could you get one 3D printed?

It might not be cheaper than the original though (if it's a 100, yes, if
it's a tenner, no). More of an option for unobtainable parts perhaps.

I've never found anywhere that's consistently significantly cheaper than
others for spares for electrical goods. espares.co.uk is normally my go-to
place, but there are others.

If you're not fussed about matching knobs, or having a branded item, it's
worth looking on ebay - loads of cheap variable sized knobs available
there.

An interesting idea, but I think I've decided to bodge the old one. It
won't spring in/out like before but I can't bring myself to spend £25+
just for the pleasure of pushing a knob in.

I've looked around but everyone is charging £25+ for a knob and cap ...
I think a little araldite will have to do.

A pity the local gypsies that collect redundant appliances in many areas
don't set up a business selling spares!
