EASY DATA WHEEL MOD

my mpc data wheel was too much wobbeling around.. so i decided to make it more stable,

to protect also the encoder inside from too much pressure, mpc falling, bottles (while live performing ) etc.

first i need the plastic part. i found this:



then after cutting it looks like this:



now i ve to fix it with hot glue on the data wheel.:



done.



i found out that to reduce friction i ve to sharpen the border of the new part.:



the data wheel needs to have some space about 1- to 2 mm before touching the mainboard.

the resuslt is smooth action and a protected encoder inside!:



in the future i am looking for a ball bearing to be fitted under the wheel....(less friction) to be continued...

be inspired...

nice one
will give it a try

never had any problems and it was cheap and not messy at all

I agree that was the same route I took.
It was easy to do, looks clean and it doesn't hinder the spinning of the wheel at all.
Another benefit is it can be easily undone if necessary.
