Rotary Encoder D-Pad

An assembly that takes a standard rotary encoder and adds the ability to sense when the encoder is pushed in 4 directions. It also supports a center button if it is built in to the rotary encoder without activating any of the other directions.

It does this by having a disc that holds the rotary encoder balance on a cone in the bottom holder. This will allow it to rotate along the X and Y axis enough to push buttons on the top of the assembly.

This is the first part I designed to be printed
