3D Printed Radio Organizers

[amaff]

I got sick of all my radios and batteries falling over every time someone sneezed nearby, so I did some light CAD work and 3D printing this afternoon.

 

 

 

I think I might re-do this one to have antenna storage on board as well...

Umm. Mine just sit in the charge cradles until I go to use them.  I do t get it.  Seams like a solution looming for a problem.

Spent a little time last night making a better solution looking for a problem

Nice job @amaff

It's always nice to see what people come up with using 3D printers.

 

And who cares what Negative Nancy thinks.

3D printers are going to make "Engineers" out of a lot of people. One doesn't have to own a machine shop to make some impressive stuff. The 3D model rendering is a great feature that lets ordinary people "see" what their creation is going to look like. Trying to do that off some 2D drawings is rather hard.

Now all we need is some really cheap powered metal 3D printers. There are some expensive professional ones out there that use lasers to fuse the powered metal into a solid.

I like how you have the batteries stored right there but not connected to the radios.

That was the biggest driver of this project for me, honestly. The batteries were friggin impossible to stack neatly without coming down like the end of a Jenga game every couple hours haha

I'm really happy with how I was able to 'nest' the radio bodies & batteries for the TD-H3. Unfortunately that wasn't really a viable option for the KG-905Gs because the belt clip is on the body of the radio. In practice, I like that mounting of the belt clip better than it being on the battery, but for storage, it's fractionally more difficult.

I found this on-line and had my sister print it up for me.

Nice! I made something similar for the 905G a little while back.

I created and 3d printed a holder to go on the vertical bar on my ride...
also made a wooden box to keep some of my radios, antennas, and other junk in.

3D Printers are a must have..
