K1EL PaddleStick1 CW Keyer case (small case)

thingiverse

I'm a ham radio amateur (EA7HVO).Many of us have bought a K1EL padlestick keyer.I had the problem that no case fitted the kit. Here you are the solution. This is the small model. I Have also made another one a bit bigger. Look in my profile. Beware of PLA -- PLA is static sensitive so it is indispensable to cover the paddles with two or three layers of electrical tape or similar. In case the keyer behaves erratically don't hesitate in cover the paddles. It becomes less picky and more accurate. In my case I needed to cover every paddle with three layers of 3M tenflex electrical tape . 6/5/2020 Updated the cover in order to fit better. Legs are now 5,5mm Ø instead of 6mm Ø. 10/05/2020 In order to control the sensitivity of the paddles y have added 4 differents covers for them. They have differents with (1--1,5--2--2,5 mm) for different sensitivity. I prefer 2mm thickness. Enjoy and 73.
