AT-6666PRO Handles

[nikdfish]

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 allow printing with a smaller build plate. Assembly of each side is done with M3 cap head screws. The model is symmetrical, so it is printed twice to provide for both sides.

Still not sure if I like it for the final product, may have to try some revisions. Will probably add a provision for attachment of a frame with a set of 50mm fans on the back side. If I do that, I may add a provision for a block of anderson powerpole connectors to support feeds for radio, fans & tuner with just one main feed.

Looks great, add a battery pack and a piece of wire and you are ready to set up anywhere.

Thanks! I put files for an updated version (a little trimmer) on Printables.

May still do mods (fans, etc.) later

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.

I did do a wiring tray with slide on cover.

But did not have an exit hole on the trial print (doh!).

Still decent room for screwing on the coax.
