cradle for icom IC-A4 (battery charger)
Recently a my friend broke the plug to recharge his radio and asked me to fix the problem.
After verifying the irreparable nature of the radio I decided to buy a cradle on the internet but I do not find any.
So I designed and printed this thing.
The cradle is formed by two parts: the body and bottom cap.
The body is composed in turn of two parts glued together because my 3D printer (and I think also that of many others) can not print large parts suspended in space.
I recovered the two contacts from underwire stiffening of the wipers, I then cut and curved so as to give them the correct form.
One tip I can give is to glue the two pieces with chemical glue before and after with hot glue.
