Yaesu FT991 / 991A side protection handles

thingiverse

I've always been drawn to the rugged handles found on professional-grade RACK devices. They not only give these devices a robust and imposing appearance but also serve as a protective shield for the front panel, safeguarding against damage that can occur during transportation or field use. Furthermore, they provide a convenient means of carrying equipment. It's worth noting that the model featured in my photo is constructed from aluminum. If you plan to 3D print it using ABS or PETG, you'll need to increase its thickness to at least 5mm or 6mm to ensure stability and durability.
