uConsole Field Ops Shell (philosiraptor)
philosiraptor's rugged printed shell in several variants, including a sun shade, released with STL and Fusion 360 files days after the official CAD appeared.
What it takes
- 3D print
Difficulty 2 of 3 — moderate.
Details
Following the DevTerm Field Ops Shell, philosiraptor gathered ideas in a May 2023 thread (Picatinny rails, sun shades, MOLLE and quick-release mounts) and released the uConsole version in November 2023, as soon as ClockworkPi published the official models. The GitHub repo carries the CAD sources and printable files for several variants; m3x mirrored the STLs on Printables.
barry99705's test prints came out about 1 mm narrower than the real console, which he traced to the official STL being slightly off, so check the fit on a test piece before committing to a full print.
