This is a follow up to my last blog entry about restoring the damping of the Beomaster 8000 volume wheel rotation. Often, the volume encoder looses all its damping over time, which can create an unpleasant situation when someone uninitiated to the issue accidentally cranks up the volume to 6.0 because the volume wheel does not stop spinning.
My latest solution involves a 3D printed 'paddle wheel' that press-fits on the volume encoder shaft. Together with a more heavy duty high viscosity damping grease, the Nyogel 767A a very smooth purely viscous damping effect can be achieved. I made a short video about the new part and its installation:
Here is a better picture of the part (printed with a Form 1 stereolithography printer):
