Details
The September 2025 revision of the Light Armor adds a dedicated housing on top of the console for the HackerGadgets RTL-SDR/LoRa/GPS/RTC/USB-hub all-in-one board and its antennas, with the SMA connectors accessible; it swaps the hinged lid for a fixed sun hood and reshapes the rear stand to balance the extra weight up top. Buttons, ports and slots stay reachable, the edges are reinforced and there is a lanyard point.
Print in PLA+ or PETG with four or more perimeters; supports are needed for the overhangs. Published on Printables and MakerWorld.
