I bought a set of Sperzels off that Ebay for my build, but I want to change the buttons.
I’m really impressed with the buttons on my Yamaha RGX A2, which are knurled rollers rather than little button/levers. They don’t go out of tune when you bump or knock them but they’re still very easy to manipulate.
The Sperzels have a spindle with two flat faces (at 180°) on the outside and are internally threaded for the locking screw.
Any ideas on the best way to make or commission something to fit? Material? Technique? 3D printing? Bits of antler?

Well thanks Bill. BTN Music were really helpful and as a result, I now have a set of Hipshot tuners and Industrial Tuner Buttons. Each tuner is 4g heavier than the Sperzel but they’re gorgeous. The Sperzels will probably go back on Ebay.
