TR-45L Skinny cover

Post by KnoxvilleMike »

Just wanted to share the cover I designed a while back for my TR-45L Skinny. It's a fairly rugged radio, especially with its side handles, but the knobs & display are always a concern. This snaps on and very robustly covers it all. I have Velcro strap slots, but the handle snaps are pretty firm and I haven't bothered with a strap yet.

I had notched out the interior as a rest to match the battery pack on the back, but it turned out to be similar enough to just using the flip stand that I'll eliminate the notches if I print it again.

The faded yellow on the "K" is my failed attempt to clean up my failed attempt at painting the letters :lol:. The paint quickly got outside the letter outline so I wiped it off, but it still soaked in a bit. Oh well...

It's printed with California Filament's Marble PETG. Bonus points for figuring out the extra nomenclature ;) .
