Rubber Feet for the (tr)uSDX

[wa2t]

Hi Group,

In my continuing (current) obsession with making the (tr)uSDX as nice as possible, I have arrived at what I think is a nice vinyl feet arrangement for the (tr)uSDX. Here are the details:

Wafer head M3 x 14mm SS Screws: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001072025844.html

Using these on the bottom panel only. I might like Black ones for my black with white lettering color scheme unit but don't think I'll bother.

6mm (D) x 2mm (H) Clear Vinyl Bumpers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L636363 applied neatly to the heads of the wafer head screws.

Again, I might like Black ones but they were difficult to impossible to find in 6mm size.

So here is the result:

Hi Robert, thanks for the design details.
My (tr)uSDX was also shifting around on my desk and I ended up building a "base" holding the tiny tcvr safely in place at a good viewing angle.

Very nice Jens! I'd like to do something like that, maybe a 3D printer project. Looks like yours is made from metal? Can you provide any details?

P.S. Love the front panel, think we corresponded a bit already on that. Shaeffer in EU, Front Panel Express in USA, I forget the cost (but probably too rich for my blood!).

P.P.S. Printed my own case(s), this project gave me the excuse I needed to buy a 3D printer! Manuel recommended the Prusa MK3S+, which I bought. While expensive, it has been no trouble to get very nice printed parts out of it. Worth every penny I say!

Yes, it's a simple sheet metal base that I bent in place to fit the (tr)uSDX.
I hope my kids don't mind as a few parts are now missing in their metal construction play set
