FlexRadio Maestro Tilt Hinge Feet

thingiverse

The FlexRadio Maestro is a remote control device designed specifically for the FlexRadio 6000 series of amateur radios. This versatile device features a touch screen interface and multiple controls that enable users to fully control their 6000 series radio from anywhere, whether locally or remotely. Normally, the FlexRadio Maestro comes with a fixed-angle stand, but Tilt Hinge Feet can be purchased as an accessory for $99 or £120, which is definitely a pricey option. However, these feet are designed to provide flexibility and convenience, allowing users to easily transport their device. The 3D printed Tilt Hinge Feet feature a friction hinge with a M6 x 60 bolt and Nyloc nut, providing a secure and stable connection. One of the standout features of this design is its ability to fold flat, making it easy to carry around or store when not in use. To assemble these feet, users will need to print two uprights and two feet. An optional shorter upright is also available, which can be used to lower the Maestro by 1cm for a more compact setup. The design was created using Tinkercad, a popular online CAD software, and while it's still a rough draft, it works surprisingly well. Users are encouraged to take the design and refine it further if they see fit. For an added touch of style, users can also print wider feet similar to those offered by FlexRadio at the Maestro launch. These wider feet not only provide better stability but also look sleeker and more polished. To protect their desks from scratches and slippage on glass or polished surfaces, users are advised to attach furniture pads to the feet of their Tilt Hinge Feet. This simple modification will make it easier to maneuver their device around without causing any damage.
