Hi Ian,

thanks.
Yes I will made it just for my personal use. I respect that you are the author of these circuits.

Cheers

Hey Lukas where did you get the 3D (STEP maybe) geometry for your files? Like the Carnhill inductors, switches and pots?

Dave
 
Hi Dave,
Carnhill - I draw it. 
Switch and pots are from http://www.3dcontentcentral.com/default.aspx , but I`m not sure for 100%. It was long ago when I add it to my PCB library.
best regards

Hey Lukas,
I do use 3D Content Central a lot as well! Would you be willing to share the Carnhill models? I would love to have those in my library!

Thanks,
Dave
 
Hi friends,

I was so busy. I hope that I finish this project till summer end.
I share some pics from build

Filters are tested and work well, now I work on some metalwork.

has anybody found a source for the PB0151000? Push button caps, or a fitting replacement part?

I don't seem to be able to find any left stock.

Thanks

Something like this?

Almost....unfortunately they have a 3.3mm shaft diameter, the used SPUJ190900 only as a 2.8mm shaft...

 
I might have found something:

E-Switch TAC

http://www.mouser.at/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=TAC-GRYvirtualkey61200000virtualkey612-TAC-GY
 
That should work! The 2 different options you and I have posted are the same dimensions... the E-Switch is 1/3 less cost tho!
Good find!

Dave
 
Unfortunately, they don't fit.

I ordered them and tried them out, they don't stay on the shaft, despite construction showing that they are made for a 2.8mm shaft.

I am inclined to fill them with hot glue, but alignment would be a nightmare.

Other possibility would be to 3d Print....

Frustrating!

Try the C&K caps...
You can usually return parts to Mouser too...

Dave

received the C&K as well, same problem....:(

I also contacted the Sifam distributor in Austria.

The problem is - there currently seems to be no knob with the needed length and a 2.8mm Shaft available, no matter what form (round, square, rectangular...)

So i might try 3D-printing as a last resort.
 
I finally got a reply from Sifam. They do not have any in stock so they would need to set up to make some. MOQ is 1000 so I have ordered 250 each of red, black, grey and white. Lead time is about 6 weeks so it will be a while before they arrive. I will be selling them in lots of 10 (any colour combination) for £4 plus shipping and Paypal fees. Let me know if you want any.

Cheers

Ian
 
The push button caps have finally arrived from Sifam so let me know it you need any. I got 250- each of red, white, black and grey. You can have  bunch of 4 of any colour combination for £1.

Cheers
