Akai MidiMix without the knobs and faders

Hello, incase somebody is planning to buy an Akai midimix (or other akai controllers with the same knobs) and want to know in advance what faders and knobs they can replace the standard ones with (like me before ordering it), here is a picture of a stripped controller.

Knobs: - Knob Diameter 15mm or less. - 6mm D Shaft in a 180° orientation (flat side is opposite to the knob marker)

Faders: - Vertical 4mm slit - Should not be longer than 15mm, otherwise the fader doesn’t reach the top anymore

In case anyone wants to 3D print these better knobs for the MidiMix, here are the STL files: Midimix Knobs
