Portable power for your ham radio gear and for your raspberry pi! This was a tight build, and I actually broke the case during assembly... but we'll #hamharder and get it done.

    Great video. I am inspired. Now to find a fellow local ham with a 3-D printer I can persuade to print the box for me, or maybe a rental? Good instructional video. Oh, by the way I love the patina of use that those wire strippers. They have been around and well cared for.

    My buddy Dave Scheve worked for the phone company, in his 20's he loved cutting coins with his Telco Sheers. Good video TO.

    I have a set of those telco shears from Fluke. I was worked in the IT industry and had to learn 2 wire low voltage work for telephones fax and I used them for making ethernet connnections too!

    Another fun video. Glad you left in mistakes in measuring the wires, makes it more real. You inspired me, and my friend printed up two cases...one for me, and Im building the other to send back to him. QUESTION - Any idea on the screw sizes that the Ape sent you? (need to hit the hardware store). Tnx & 73, Mike - KK7LL

    I would love to see somebody 3d print a box for the bioeno. I am using what I think is known as a dry box. I would like some thing that is small has possable and have only anderson connecters and usb. What is the max power draw on that buck converter?
  • @tomking8597
    Will the USB be able to power the Novato little computer from your previous video? I bought one after your video. And want to use it with my KX2 for FT8 and Vara.
  • @MikeSmithKF7LVH
    Any idea where I can get one of these boxes printed so I can build this ?
  • @GeoSmarty
    Does anyone know of a module with a USB C connection and powerdelivery function?
  • @K6WRF
    Think there would be any issues with using 18AWG instead of 16?
  • @kbarhow
    Is there a kit for the juicebox?
