Has anybody made them here on OSG?

Thanks in advance!

I've searched the forum, it seems that somebody simply painted black ones in white.
Apparently, there are no aftermarket white roller knobs available...

Oh, that's great. Only thing is that I would need them for an AVRI/Thin Skin... :(

i don't see why it shouldnt work
it says not tested on US
my guess is that the central hole will be smaller
nothing that a dremmel can't cope with :)

The US/AVRI pots have the smaller shaft (MIJ is about 1/4" (6mm?), US/CTS is either 5/32" or 3/16" IIRC), so you could make a spacer/bushing out of some small copper or aluminum tubing, I've done it before. Or you could contact the guy and see if he can just change the size of the hole, since these are 3d printed there's no mold, it probably just needs to be changed in a CAD file and uploaded.

Sorry for the late reaction, just joined here.
You can get these spacer buses from any electronics store for just a few dimes, don't pay $2,50 !

I just converted 2 computer mouse rollers by drilling out the center & tapping a thread for a grub screw. Exactly the right dimension to fit in the control plate, off white rubber wheel and cost $4 each. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mouse-Wheel- ... 2749.l2648

That's... very creative! Any pictures?
I don't think the OP is still looking after 7 years but good to see people are still trying to fix the white-roller void!

I bought some from this guy too. He does several colours. They're screen printed but decent quality and need a grub screw.
