Car/Marine Radio Case

thingiverse

Car/Marine Radio Case for various sizes, available in different sizes so can't say if it fits very deep radios. This design uses 4mm connectors for speakers, XT60 for power and a hatch in the back for all other connections from behind the radio. The center peg has to be screwed to the back of the radio, you can print the case first, put the radio you have into it and measure with caliper from the back of the case to the back of the radio inside, from here you can choose the peg you need or one that is longer. Cut a longer peg down in slicer (stop print after height) to fit your radio. When you have the right peg length then screw it to the radio and lower radio into case, here you can glue it in when it is in place. A 60mm Fan can be attached to a DC-DC buck step-down converter that is attached to "antenna power" from the radio. This turns on the fan when radio is on, set the DC-DC to a low voltage so fan spins slowly. The fan is just needed to keep the case from becoming a heat box, make sure that the low setting you set the fan to is not too low so it won't start when power is applied. A fan gasket is used to decrease sound further, try without first. I use this fan, really quiet and cheap. You can find it at tme.eu/dk/en/details/ha60151v4-a99-a/dc12v-fans/sunon/ha60151v4-1000u-a99/. Work in progress, will update with pictures in time.
