QMX 3d printed cover

 

Hello,

I make a 3D printed cover for QMX, I can carry it in my luggage safely.
You can use it like a stand desk.

All picture and file for printing, share and customise are here :

I'm not selling it, I won't sell it. And these files are not for commercial use.

Nicolas thanks for posting your design. ?I am printing it as we speak as I needed something to protect my QMX in transit. ?I love the dual functionality your design offers but am concerned about using it as a desk stand as it appears it would block the heat dissipation out the back panel. ?Do you see that as an issue?

Salut Nicholas

Merci pout ton cover pour le QMX.

J'ai essay¨¦ d'allonger le couvercle avec des languettes de verrouillage aux extr¨¦mit¨¦s, car le QMX glisse facilement lorsqu'il est utilis¨¦ comme support.
Mais je n'ai pas r¨¦ussi ¨¤ le faire dans Fusion360.
Pourriez-vous peut-¨ºtre mettre ¨¤ jour le fichier avec des languettes de 2 mm aux bouts, afin que le QMX ne glisse pas laterallement ?

Cordiallement?

Hi Nicolas,
?
Thanks for making your QMX cover design public - I printed one and am very pleased with it and mentioned it in a post to this list some weeks ago. I solved the problem of the radio slipping inside the cover by placing a rubber band around it lengthwise, so that the outside part of the band contacts the desk when used as a stand, and the inside part stops it slipping when used as a cover. Simple, effective and enhances a great design.

Hello Nicolas,
I have printed it and use it since a few week. I love the design very well.
?
I stuck transparent adhesiv pads on the backside so that it wasn't so slippery.?
?
There is still a border missing on both sides so that the cover doesn't slide back and forth. I'm still thinking about what could be improved...

I also printed this cover es like it.
All I did was warm both sides with the heat gun and bend
them in si there was some pressure against the radio.
No more slipping.

Hello,

I make some small border on the both sides. See file with name
QMX_cover_with_small_border
Be careful, I have not try this modifications yet, in real life. I have not time to print this before one or two week.

Perhaps small tabs at the corners, outside current shell, stop the slipping.

Nikolas,
This is a great idea! Thanks for developing it. A friend printed it for me and I use it all the time to protect my QMX or QCX in my backpack. I like that it can double as a tilt stand, although I don't use this feature, personally.?

Another suggestion for this or the bottom of radios is to use loop (soft) Velcro stick-ons. They make nice soft 'feet'. In addition, placing the hook part on a desk or lap table will keep the radio from moving around.?

I remixed the design a bit. My version has a bit different dimensions as I recreated it from scratch. The main difference is a much tighter fit.?
