Need a 3D belt clip for my Baofeng! Any suggestions

[Andrei]

Hi!

I am the happy owner of the Baofeng UV-9G which I like a lot. But I hate the beltclip and, besides, while I still have the screw, I lost the clip itself during a hurricane. What I am looking for would be a 3D printer belt clip which would use the screw from the original clip. And since I don't have a 3D printer I have to purchase that somewhere. Can you recommend a person or an online store which I could get such a belt clip from?  I should also clarify that I don't like Baofeng type "fat" belt clips, I am hoping to find one which can use the screw, but would remain "flat(er)" than the think Baofeng ones.  And, to clarify, I can use a search engine, the reason I ask here is to get ==>personal<== recommendations or suggestions

Thank you very much!

explain the difference between a forum and search engine.

You’re right that belt clip sucks. This is one on eBay, you’ll note that it doesn’t have a hinge mechanism. I just left mine off and put it in a pocket or a holder like this.

Fantastic, THANK YOU!  I already ordered the clip  and...  I also ordered the pocket holder 

thanks for your excellent suggestions!  may that good karma come right back to you!

Some posters do not understand the two types of people on these types of forums:

1) Those that cannot do or are unwilling to do internet research and hence prefer to be spoon fed; and 

2) Those that get personal achievement and gratification from doing research for others!

”I want my Maypo!”

My tongue in cheek comment was a criticism of @amaff’s comment 

Did you take it personally because I replied to you??

As someone who suffers from ADD, I am always grateful to someone who enjoys doing the research and giving me a link in response. 

To those who passive-aggressively SIMPLY suggest “google” or “YouTube” they can F-themselves!!

The thing is, though, one can just as easily type the exact same thing into a search engine and get the very results they are asking for here. There's a world of difference in "Hey guys, been doing some research on this thing. Looking for some additional input" and "Hey guys, tell me about this thing."

You misunderstood my point: give me a link to a YouTube video answering my question and I am a Happy Camper!!

Suggesting simply “YouTube,” not so much!!

Is there?? When the OP or question poster indicates he has autism, for example, which has happened here before?

You would rather debate the metadata rather than just being silent, not posting anything and letting those of us who like to do the research, answer the question?!?

I don’t look behind to the motive of the questioner; if I can help, I do. If I can’t, I move on to the next thread. 

But I never bully the questioner for asking the question. 

I guess YMMV!

Bingo.

[Andrei]

Okay, lemme chime in.  First, forums are designed for HUMAN INTERACTION so pointing to search engine is plain stupid.  Since I had a career in IT I am confident that I can use search engines way better than the moron who pointed me to google.  Next, do I want to share my questions with the Google corporation?  Also, why would amaff OffRoaderX and Northcutt114 want to be condescending a-holes to a person they don't even know? Would it be because they have a need to lash out on the Internet because that is the only place they can huff, puff and try to look "tough" because in real life they are beat up by their bosses, wives and probably kids (assuming they have any)!  The key thing is that they actually have nothing to contribute to, no personal experience worth sharing, just a urge to act like a pompous ass because they are deeply frustrated.

As I said, there is at least one in each group.  For example on Facebook the folks are exceptionally nasty in almost every group.  Discord is much better, I suppose that rather than boomers there are more young, happier, folks over there.  I think that in our societies such manners are frowned upon so, say, in a store these folks would be very polite.  Behind the wheel some of them would already get unhinged (road rage), and in the Internet they feel total impunity for acting like petulant teens.

I guess dealing with folks firmly pegged to the left side of an IQ bell curve is inevitable.  The only way to avoid that would be to create fora which test for intelligence before accepting a member, but that would obviously not be acceptable as there are plenty of kind and friendly people with low IQ.  So how to get rid of the dumb AND hostile is the question which, so far, nobody has managed to solve, which is too bad.

Anyway - WRYS709 please accept my apologies for misreading your comment!

Cheers

Well, I certainly agree with this.

Watch out that you don't twist your ankle hopping off of that soapbox.

Uh...I'm not even sure how to respond to this so I'll just agree that your mileage may indeed vary. I'm not sure how what position on the spectrum one occupies comes into this conversation, at all, and I certain didn't "bully" anyone.

If you took what I said as me being a "condescending a-hole" and further went on to extrapolate that I "in real life" am "beat up by [my] bosses, wives and probably kids (assuming [I] have any), well, the only thing I can say is that it seems like you are the one who is "deeply frustrated."

I hope the search for the belt clip is fruitful. I'll be disengaging from this thread moving forward.
