Adjustment button no. 128 is the component through which you mechanically control the Scorpion X1 machine even during work, without disassembling it. It is part of the original Ink Machines parts range and serves as the physical interface through which you adjust the machine's behavior. It is useful both for artists who want to replace a worn or damaged knob and for those who prefer to keep a spare part for studio machines. An internal detent mechanism, with balls and springs, provides palpable fixed positions ("clicks"), so you can return exactly to your preferred setting.
What does this button actually adjust?▾
It adjusts the spring preload and, through this, the machine's behavior, allowing you to modify the machine's stiffness and response without disassembling it. Turning it in different directions changes how the machine works, and you feel the selected position through the clicks of the mechanism.
Why don't I feel clear clicks when turning?▾
Most often, the click feel weakens when the balls or springs of the detent mechanism wear out, or when the retaining ring deforms. These components are replaced separately from the button. However, if the button itself is deformed (e.g., after a drop), the solution is to replace it with part no. 128.
Does the button include the detent mechanism (balls, springs, ring)?▾
No. It is supplied as an individual piece, per unit. The balls, springs, and retaining ring are purchased separately if they also need replacement. If only the button is aesthetically or mechanically damaged, the existing detent components can be reused.
Can I adjust the machine without taking off my gloves?▾
Yes. The button has an ergonomic design intended to be handled even with surgical or nitrile gloves, so you can make adjustments during the session without interrupting the hygiene protocol.
Can it be cleaned and disinfected?▾
Yes. Being made of anodized aluminum alloy, it withstands chemical disinfection with standard equipment solutions. Clean it regularly, as it is a frequently touched component. However, avoid full immersion in liquid to prevent it from entering the internal detent mechanism.
Which machine does it fit? Does it work on other models?▾
According to product data, it is compatible with the Scorpion X1 machine and is part of the Ink Machines / Scorpion parts range. For other models (e.g., an X2 version), we cannot guarantee compatibility, as the mechanical interface may differ — check fit with your exact model before ordering.
