Base for QRPguys Iambic or Single Lever Mini Paddles: Morse Code, Ham Radio

thingiverse

Here are bases for the Iambic Mini-Paddle Morse Code key and Single Lever key for ham radio sold by QRPguys.com. I love the keys but wanted a strain relief for the cable and enough of a base to attach Scotch Fasteners (like Velcro) to the bottom so I can Velcro it to my clipboard. In the pictures you'll see I also glued 10mm diameter x 3mm thick super-magnets to the paddles to attach them to the side of my radios with steel cases. Painting the magnets with a thin coat of rubber cement gives them enough traction that the key feels bolted on. Note the .stl file names to be sure you are printing the correct base for the paddle you have (iambic or single lever) See you on the bands and 73.
