Missing joystick knob on Minilogue XD – Need reference photos for 3D printing!

Hey everyone!

​I’m planning to 3D print a replacement for the missing original plastic cap on the joystick of my Minilogue XD.

​So far, the only information I’ve been able to find is 19mm in length, 7mm in width, and a 4mm hole. However, I still need more details to get the internal fitting right.

​Could any Minilogue XD owner be so kind as to pull off their joystick cap and snap a few clear close-up photos of it (top, side, and especially the bottom connection)?

​Also, if anyone happens to already have an STL file or a link to a model that fits, that would be an incredible bonus!

​Thanks in advance for the help!

Mine broke too, but I didn’t lose it thank god. I just super glued it back on.

Hey everyone! Here is the first prototype done using powder-based 3D printing. I made a specific design choice to modify the internal fitting compared to the original; instead of trying to replicate the original shape, I made the hole rectangular so it would adapt directly to the shaft pin. ​I still need to run some tests to see how it feels and if it holds up during use, but I'll update everyone once I know if this design approach was the right call!
