303 - 3D Print your own repairs or accessories

If you’ve ever wanted to create or build your own scanner accessories, 3D printing may be an exciting avenue to start exploring. Matt Neely has been bitten by the 3D Printing bug, and has already printed many scanner radio accessories for a fraction of what ‘store bought’ products would cost. Imagine printing your own replacement parts.  This includes belt clips, channel, squelch, and volume control knobs.   Maybe even SDS100 battery door retainer clips or desk stands. Free plans for many parts and pieces are available right now on thingaverse.com And you might even be able to create these parts locally, even if you don’t already own a 3D Printer of your own. Matt knows all the ins and outs of printing replacement parts at home, and will teach you how to create your own on today’s podcast. ==================================== 🛒  Check out our new Merch! ==================================== Squelchy opened his own store selling Scanner School merchandise!
