Hello all!
Have anyone of you seen a smaller variant of the emergency stop button somewhere?
I wanted to use one for a project, but the 'normal' size just doesn't look right... I found one with a diameter of 24mm, but that's too big.
Ideally, I would like a button size between 12-16mm.

I have looked everywhere for one.... I also only ever found ones bigger than the device I was trying to fit it to...

Bummer.
I have a SCI R13-523BL-05 in the box-of-last-hope, perhaps I'll use that instead. It would be nice though to have a real stop button...

My application had to have a twist release stop button, so it didn't get made...

If you find one... Please post a link here!!!

I wonder if there is a certification issue to call a switch an E-Stop. Looks like they are all about 1 inch or larger.

You're probably right about that, but perhaps somewhere there's a generic twist-to-release button NOT marked as an E-Stop...

That sounds interesting, do you remember the printer brand/model?
