IC 705 Box

I've had this idea stweing in the back of my head for awhile now, but I was too lazy to do it myself.  Someone in a facebook group posted their version but refused to share the models, so I hacked this out in tinkercad in about an hour.

This is meant as more of a proof of concept, and I leave it to the community to develop this further if they desire.

Using 100% infill will result in an immensely strong print, but will consume about 800 grams of filament, so make sure you have a fresh roll on unless you want to cut the infill.  I'll leave that to your discretion.

Printed on an ender 5 plus.

The large hole is sized and countersunk for my anderson panel mount,  the upper small one is meant for a standard ½ inch BNC panel mount, and the lower right smaller hole is meant to pass through the cord for the 705's speaker mic.  It's sized to accept a PG7 cable gland, if desired.

You'll need four  M4x14 screws to mount it using the 705's screw holes in the bottom.

Note that rather than flatten the bottom curves of the model in design I simply dropped the model 3mm below the buildplane in cura which has the same effect.

I have elected to not attempt to design the battery box part of the an/prc style housing given the vast array of batteries and configurations available, but it should be easy enough to design one for your own needs given you have a known form factor.

The outside dimensions of the box are 300mm wide x 95.5mm deep x 138mm tall (135mm if you flatten the bottom like I did in slicing)
