thingiverse

14th June 2022 update (v6 version), compatible also with Windcamp RC-2 antenna bracket; 2 versions available (BP-272 standard battery, BP-307 large battery). Not tested up to now since I don't have RC-2 and BP-307. Design change based on your proposals and measures. Unibody version with new improvements: - recesses added on top surface to improve fitting when IC-705 has its rubber pads installed - additional seats for silicone anti-slip pads (12x in total) Model in the pictures is made with MFJ PA12 nylon and industrial grade process, lightweight and extremely resistant. Features: -compatible with Windcamp RC-1 antenna bracket (additional small support can be printed to improve bracket resting when used on flat surfaces) -compatible with Manfrotto PIXI mini tripod -upper slots useful to fix external accessories (e.g. mAT-705 tuner) -the mike can be clamped to the lateral bars to avoid falling when not in use -flat base with proper tilting if used as desktop stand -all knobs, dials and connectors are easy accessible -non-slip option, 12x seats for 8 mm rubber pads are available on the lower surface of the base -protection extended also to the back zone of the radio (battery can be removed without disassembly the cage, if Windcamp RC-1 is installed it should be partially unscrewed to change battery) -compact design Screws required: -4x socket countersunk flat head screws M4x12 or M4x10 For best FDM printing results I recommend PLA+, orient the model vertically and use Tree supports if you are using Cura.
