Need to find replacement button for Ulticontroller of UM Original

[rarena8690 0]

Hi Everybody,

I recently purchased a UM original. I need to replace the knob in the Ulticontroller. My hopes were that I could just de-solder the current potentiometer/pushbutton and replace it with a new one. Does anybody know what type of button this is and where I can purchase it?

I really need this to use the conroller!

Thank you very much a please help!

why not just print one? There are multiple examples of redesigns out there... Like this one that sort of makes me think of valve and halflife

According to the BOM the encoder is:

EC11E15244B2 729-5609 ALPS EC11E15244B2 20mm Vertical encoder 15 Pulses 30 DET

The second number is the RS partnumber.

If you just need the actual knob it is available as a STEP file so that you can print it:
