Wouxun UV8D Cradle

thingiverse

A Holder for Wouxun's UV8D dual band handheld HAM radio. I needed a setup that allows me to secure the handheld to the dash for occasional monitoring of 70cm/2m traffic. Since I don't have a mobile station in my car and couldn't find a suitable holder, I came up with this solution. The cradle features AMPS compatible countersunk holes, enabling it to fit any of the AMPS mounts including those from RAM and similar brands. For my specific use case, I attached it to a Brodit swivel mount, which I clipped onto one of their ProClips (www.brodit.com). Print Settings: Rafts: Don't bother Supports: Yes Notes: To get the best results, print with raft facing up and supports. It should load into your slicer automatically by default; it does in Simplify 3D. I printed it flawlessly on my Flashforge Creator Pro using Simplify 3D's Medium ABS print profile set at its default settings.
