Iambic Paddles (Base Mountable Version)

If you like what you see here, consider leaving a tip.

Remixed from an excellent design by Thingiverse user and certified amateur radio operator Loren Butler (V01PWF), the intent of this project was to make a set of 3D printable iambic paddles that were as portable as possible, while still comfortable enough to use at a desk. I could have made the overall width narrower if I removed the key end stops from the base and built them in to the top cover, but I wanted to have the option of removing the cover and mounting the key to a heavy base plate. The narrow version of this key can be found here, and a mini version can be found here.

Hardware Used:

3x 6-32 x 1 inch phillips flat pan head screws for paddle pivots and ground contact

2x 6-32 nuts/springs and washers for paddle contact screws
4x 6-32 1/4 inch phillips flat pan head screws for attaching the cover
