Yaesu FT-857D Remote Mount

thingiverse

A sleek remote head mount for the Yaesu FT-857D, perfect for keeping your communication device within easy reach. The latest design iteration is here, boasting a sturdy "bump" at its end that ensures a snug fit. Unlike the manufacturer's version, this mount boasts openings on top and bottom, allowing it to be secured firmly to a desk or workspace. Yes, it's a bit larger than its Yaesu counterpart – roughly five times as big – but don't worry, it performs admirably. Please note that some users have mentioned discrepancies in how the remote head fits onto their FT-857D models. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive with this mount, though your mileage might vary. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has designed its own head mount to work seamlessly with this radio; therefore, I encourage anyone who's experimented with modifications to share their solutions and tips on Thingiverse. If we collaborate on optimizing this design, everyone can benefit from the improved result.

All my best, K5EHX Print Settings: * Printer: XyzPrinting DaVinci 1.0 * Rafts: None * Supports: None * Resolution: 0.2mm layer resolution for smooth prints. * Infill: Set to 30% for optimal structural integrity. Design Process: To bring this mount to life, I used the powerful 3D modeling software TinkerCAD, alongside MeshLab to double-check my design and ensure seamless printing results. Countless hours of meticulous measurement and trial-and-error tweaking helped me arrive at a custom fit that's tailored to your specific Yaesu FT-857D needs.
