Do think this would prevent the issue of the play button not always working when pressed down? Also, what would be the specifications for the 3D print/material use?
Hi CrewElite, from my experience, all I can say is: If the play/cue button, when you put your finger on it and you can move it back, forth, up and down without force, then I would say it is 99% due to the mount. You have to imagine that the large button presses with a small point on a microswitch (approx. 3mm diameter). But if you can now move the button a few millimeters, then this point no longer hits the microswitch correctly... In my case this was the problem. ------------------------------------------------------ There shouldn't be any special procedures for the print. My recommendation for this is: - a calibrated 3d printer (so that the dimensions will fit) - I made the print in PLA, so far it has held up in any case. if you like, you can also use PETG. this is more stable at higher temperatures. - I would also print with white material or transparent (diffuse). because then the button illumination will probably not become darker.
@@CrewElite I'd love to. if you have any questions, please post them here. Whether about printing, installation, etc. The more questions i can answer here, the more people i can help.
Hello Luis, I'm doing quite well so far. Thanks for asking. I used normal PLA for the print. In the controller, it cannot be assumed that the temperatures inside will not reach 60-70° to soften the material. If you want, you can also use PLA+ or ABS filament, which can withstand higher temperatures. I would recommend printing in white or transparent, as this will direct the light inside onto the button. The file is still online and can be found under the link in the description. If you have any other questions, please write to me again here. See you then
if you put your fingers on the play button, can you move the whole button forwards, backwards, back and forth (not press)? if you can "move" it, then this is the solution for you. if the frame (plastic frame that holds the button) is in order, you cannot move it in these directions. then the micro-switch will be defective.
Printing and mailing would not be a problem in itself, but the shipping costs will be rather high. Someone once asked me if i could print it for him - it was easier to find someone near him who can also print in 3D. He was then simply given the file to print. Where would this have to be sent approximately? (Country)
Hello Elvin, let me see what I can do for you. Please send me an email to k-systems@mails.biz with your details so that I know where to send the items. Then I can determine the shipping costs and send you an offer.

@@kevink.388 Much appreciated! Luckily my university has 3D printers so I'll make a purchase for the STL file.

@@kevink.388 Do you happen to have the measuremnt for the print in mm (__x,__x,__x)?
Hello, how are you, is it still available to buy, since I need to change it on my machine
Also what type of filament do you recommend using?

So my cue button works but the play button doesn't. Is this how i would fix it or is that electrical?
if you put your fingers on the play button, can you move the whole button forwards, backwards, back and forth (not press)? if you can "move" it, then this is the solution for you.
if the frame (plastic frame that holds the button) is in order, you cannot move it in these directions. then the micro-switch will be defective.
Where do you find the new ones
For this repair, the old buttons are used. If your buttons are completely defective, it is only possible with an original replacement part.
Could I purchase one from you?

@@kevink.388 I see! I may be able to get someone to print this out for me. I'm based in the US.
Does replacing this usually fix the problem where the play button doesn't always work or would additional things need to be replaced?@@kevink.388
Hi! Is this a common problem with the MCX 8000?
Apparently so. The brackets on which the buttons hang always seem to break at one point.
You can find these problems again and again here on RUclips
