(tr)uSDX Wedge Stand

Please like and follow and post your makes

After building the (tr)uSDX by DL2MAN and PE1NNZ and the associated battery box (link below) for three 18650 batteries.    I found myself looking for things to prop up the radio on.   So I have designed and printed two of these stands and I'm happy with the result.   The shape is a basic wedge with a lip in the back and small raised edges on the side and front to cradle the transceiver with the battery box attached.      

Update: I've added a version of the stand that still uses the battery back designed by DL2MAN (link below) on the transceiver and the desktop stand will use the dovetail mount he provided. This creates a secure mounting of the transceiver to the stand.

I don't own a SLA printer, but I took a bottle of white 3D SLA printer resin and a syringe.   I filled the embossed lettering with white resin and hit it with a UV flashlight for a while and then wiped it down with Isopropyl alcohol to make the letters jump out.   Just a simple little resin hack from me to you.   

I added rubber feet to my stand.  The stand gives plenty of table top clearance to be used with the “(tr)uSDX knob spinner” that I also designed.
