MPK mini

I want to replace original knobs on my MPK-Mini with something more reliable and slightly bigger. Any idea what would fit ?

:D Hi pal, I've always wanted to change my old mk1 MPK mini style, the best solution are finding a 3D printing service near or online with sending them a picture of the size of the knob and the D shaped hole fit with ruler.

I have already found knobs on Amazon. I had to trim them though but it was only a 15 min job with wire cutter and piece of sand paper. It is not perfect but way much better than stock junk.

Basically I had to trim the bottom part (black) to flash with the white insert. It was quite easy to do.
