Aluminum rotary encoder knobs for Maschine?

Aluminum rotary encoder knobs for Maschine?

I’m looking for a set of rotary encoder knobs for maschine, I found the set by jesse dean designs and was wondering if anyone else made aluminum encoder knobs that fit that do not have a center detent mark?
Pardon Our Interruption... these are all I can find but a little pricey and maybe there’s something better looking out there I’m not aware of

I got some black alu ones from digikey for my old vci - expensive but they feel ace:

Oh btw - thats all their knobs - you can search for just metal ones once your there :slight_smile:

edit: actually after looking there aren’t that many without lines for encoders :disappointed:

I went ahead and am just going to go with the jesse dean ones I linked in blue, thanks.

those end caps are pretty sweet looking

At first I was going to say what a waste of money, then I saw the knobs … I want em. I think i’m going to buy myself a set too.

Yeah some of my family do a secret santa thing online with a $100 limit and I had no idea what I wanted and asked for some stuff to pimp out my maschine since it is my new favorite tool.

White lexan overlay

Blue knobs

It will look slick and feel nice :sunglasses:

Ah very nice! I like the whole idea, but for some reason the white overlay isn’t sitting well with me. But can’t wait to see your finished Maschine :slight_smile:.

That’s because it doesn’t actually fit and ruins the feel of the buttons.

I just got the aluminum knobs - great except that theyre not centered, so kind of wobble. I might switch back to the plastic knobs. Has anyone experienced this? or am I installing them wrong??

sorry, I meant the half circle of the actual metal piece on the maschine. I screwed it so that it would hit the flat part. but are your new knobs smooth? mine wobble cuz theyre not centered…

Actually it fits perfectly and you can’t even tell it’s there.

Still not following what you mean.

I guess yours dont wobble… good for you!

also the knobs have to be slightly raised, then tightened, otherwise it scrapes the bottom. thats fine, but wobbly knobs not centered is making me miss the original plastic ones!

I wasn’t talking about the knobs, I don’t have the knobs.

What do you mean they’re not centered? Like the hole isn’t drilled centered some when you twist it it wobbles?

Make a video of it and post it here and send it to him.

i got some nice alum knobs at radio shack, i have one on my apc40 , as the search knob. they were like 3 bucks for 2 i think. i also replaced the other stock knobs with larger notched knobs.
