Sorry, I only printed sets for my own radios. Anyone using these either printed their own or had someone else print them. The print files & source can be downloaded from printables.com at the URL's listed above. If you don't know someone with a printer, there are commercial printers out...

I did another DC powered charging base, this time for a UV-K5. It is based off the TP5100 lipo charging module. .STL files & source were placed on Printables: https://www.printables.com/model/1268044-uv-k5-dc-charging-base

I roughed out a mount for 2 5010 fans that can attach to the rear portion of the right side handle ( & added a couple of holes to the handle for attachment). The dual ball bearing fans are pretty quiet. Don't know if I'll bother doing a powerpole mount, or just do a pigtail with inline switch...

Thanks! I put files for an updated version (a little trimmer) on Printables. https://www.printables.com/model/1250000-at-6666-pro-protective-handles May still do mods (fans, etc.) later

Just got an AT-6666PRO in & did a initial test on a set of protective "handles" I drew up. They extend far enough to protect the knobs and have a provision for adding "pegs" to elevate the front. Although I have a large format printer that could print them in one piece, I split the model to...

I recently drew up & printed parts for DC powered charging bases for a couple of HT's. Their OEM bases had either broken mounts or were AC only. I did a couple for the BF-888S, mainly due to the OEM base being 110v AC only. The DIY version has a USB-C socket for 5v input. Contacts used...

Just to add another data point, I received a new AT-6666Pro yesterday (via Amazon). It came with version 1.01 firmware installed. The version 1.02 test data tool gave a "communitation error" on radio read (data cable had a CH343 chip). Installed the 1.03 version tool & it read with no trouble...

I understand the rules and wish to enter the contest.

I published source materials on Printables https://www.printables.com/model/833714-g90-radio-desk-stand-with-cooling-and-power-distri

My G90 came in this week & I got a chance to finish up a little project I started when I ordered it. I needed to finalize some dimensions and do some test fittings that had to wait until the radio was in hand. What I put together is a desk stand with cooling and power distribution. The stand...

Not sure if I'm going to publish samples of this one yet, I changed the source code to allow specifying a stack count as well as a slot count. The same model now has the option for multiple modules per slot. Thinking of it as a high density distribution box. Might be handy on a desk. Four...

Printers currently range from sub $200 on up. Cheaper ones will probably take some tweaking to get decent results. They print lower temp materials like PLA well enough but typically don't handle high temp materials very well. Decent consumer equipment with less need for tweaking can be...

I just finished up a new version of components to build a 3D printed Anderson PowerPole distribution box. It differs from the previous versions I've done in that it has a flat profile and is modular. The basic housing framework has slots for "modules". There are modules for holding powerpole...

I put together some handles for a couple of radios. They can be handy with a radio that is not permanently mounted & being used in a temporary fashion. They can provide some front panel protection & elevate the bottom above a flat surface for better cooling & sound from bottom mounted...

Thanks guys!
