Cases


 

New guy here. I can't seem to find any cases for sale, does no one make/sell them? I found some that come as a kit with a case but can't seem to find just a case.

Thanks

Kevin


 

see msg #322.

Search under vna cases or 3D cases.


 

Search Ebay, there's plenty of them.

Do note, however, they might not fit your particular model, as there are slight differences between the original "VNAs' and the clones regarding physical size and placement of connectors etc.

A few listings indicate which model they fit, most don't.

Thanks for the reply. I tried eBay and eBay Canada and all that comes up is
the whole units not just a case for an existing unit. I searched nano VNA
case and VNA case.

Try Etsy ... I bought a 3D printed case from a guy there and it works fine for my unit.

I typed nanovna case into google and hit the first ebay listing that came up

Note that there is no gap between nano and vna in the search term.

I had 3d printed some cases and some people were happy, some were not. Seems these things are all not the same and sometimes you need to shave some of the holes to make it fit

I bought a case from the eBay source Terry referenced. I did have fo file
one edge to get the proper fit, but otherwise, no problems.

Here's what I use. Drill 2 holes and cut a 2" slot and presto, a case with a lid for $1.60 plus 4 more cases for other projects.


 

I was tought early on that all things mechanical were considered FTF.

That is file to fit...

Searching ebay.co.uk has the same issue, no cases just nanovna units themselves.

I made my own metal box, so not an issue for me.

Maybe the vendors have placed a .com or regional listing condition on them.

OK, I see there is a problem that can be solved quite easily.

I have 3D printers and Laser cutters, so if you can give me till the New Year, I will work with you all to design and prototype a case between us.

Next you are going to ask the cost, I will just ask for the cost of materials and posting.

So if anyone is interested, let me know.

I can probably find the basic 3D design but I do not have an uncased unit, so I would need local people to me in Manchester, UK. to try and test.

If you think about it, it does not need to be the standard case out already, once we have the fitting for the VNA correct, then we can mod. as we wish, for us.

The offer is there, I just need time to set my 3D units up at home, but after the holidays please.

I found the same case that Terry VK5TM did on eBay, item 174039026524. Looks like an interesting case for the -H. The listing also led to this:

Hi, All

I have downloaded a basic design, this is eh1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
































Hi, All

I have downloaded the basic design from this link:-

This design looks OK, but I need to put it up on to the 3D printer to find out if any problems.

Regards Price - this will be base of our case and if any mods needed, we can look at it from there.
All cases made by me from home, will be at cost of material plus P&P were needed, and that is it to all Ham Radio Lic. holders. It might not be good business, but I am not in to making money from friends.

Yours

Les - M0LPB


 

Sorry, had to run and the keyboard hit the floor.

I have downloaded a basic design, and we can mod it as we like.

But as I keep saying, the cost will be min. For all Ham radio Lic. Holders.
