Details
Wintermute's MakerWorld design (February 2025) is a full replacement back with an integrated prop and optional antenna mounts, in the same vein as the Rama Shunn and oblivious backplates. Only the model page exists as a source, so treat print settings and fit as untested until you have one in hand.
