All:
I ordered my (tr)uSDX from the Amazon source suggested on DL2MAN's site. Then I noticed it has no case. What is a good place to purchase the case in the US.

Thanks!
Jack, W8TEE

Hi Jack,

I did the same thing and finally just ordered it from Sunny who is the authorized seller anyway.

Hello Jack,
I ordered 1 from the authorized Aliexpress seller, it arrived very quickly and was very well made.
I sent another one to be printed at a 3d printing company, due to material limitations here in Chile it did not turn out so well but it was cheaper, the price including the 18650 battery box was similar to just the box on aliexpress

Hi,

The housing files are available. The idea behind a 3D Printed housing is: Why ship something around the world, that you can print locally ?
If you don´t have a printer, ask your collegues and friends. Someone usually has a 3D Printer.
I´ve heard that in US libraries they often have a 3D Printers for public use.
And my best suggestion would be:
Buy a cheap entry level Printer (eG Anycubic Vyper) and start a journey to discover what you´ve missed so far ;)
My 3D Printers have saved me a lot of money and especially time over the last years.
Your imagination is the limit.

And some people even make money with it:
Like some guys on etsy print and sell my housing. Totally legit.
