BitX40 Ergonomic Enclosure

thingiverse

This is yet another enclosure for [VU2ESE Ashhar Farhan's](http://www.hfsigs.com/) BitX40 transceiver. It's different from other boxes because it's ergonomically more efficient--the volume and tuning dials are positioned for ease of use and the speaker is tilted up towards the operator's head. It's small and has a much larger heat sink to accommodate 100% duty cycle transmissions that digital modes require. This is a slightly revised version; I've included cut-away supports for the bottom plate inset for the top case and made some of the holes a little larger to reduce the amount of post-printing work that was required. When I print it in PET, the top case requires about 10 hours and uses about 85g of filament. The bottom prints in about 3 hours and uses around 25g of filament.
