Details
darkgrue's bumper is an OpenSCAD design, source included on Thingiverse, that shields the Quick Mount 7× SMA board's PCB and solder joints. It was revised with looser tolerances after ABS prints needed trimming; the trade-off is that the kickstand no longer opens fully with the extra thickness, and owners asked for an SD-card cut-out. spaceharrier's cover is the lighter alternative.
