This looks neat. I look forward to seeing the final photos/videos of this on a real Dev-Term! ---

looks like it blocks the ports… I could be mistaken - is it possible to take the original shale files and fill out from them making a thinker and more durable case? Is that what you did? ---

cool. Can you elaborate on picatinny part? What mounts do you use for accessories? How does sdr looks like with picatinny mount? ---

Thank you for this gorgeous shell! Picrail mounts stuff well, tolerances are tight and the DevTerm is ready to be slung on the shoulder. The M3 nuts had to be pursued into the plastic with a soldering iron, but that’s part of the design I believe. ![Tacti🆒](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/b/b3f0a3291aaa2505e822b9f204fb6304bb4fa7c0.jpeg) Works as promised, my only complaint is that the power button is not easily reached. Maybe a TPU plug to push the power button would be nice to have. PS: A step file would be appreciated in the repo for remixing. ---

still gotta design some stuff, but i figured if picatinny is good enough for a battle rifle, its good enough for a devterm, stuff should be rugged, modular, and survive being yeeted at least once, hence picatinny was obvious ---

Dont have a printer but I know someone who does - thanks - I’ve asked him to print the SDR adapter too - also I purchased a couple of Piccany rail items - 1/4-20 adapter and a site adapter that can be used to mount sensors - I have a severe weather detector that is ESP23 based (barometric and lightning)… it’s in it’s own case … ---
