The K8RA P2JR Key is an iambic Morse Code paddle. This mini key was beautifully crafted by K8RA [SK] of central Ohio, USA.
When I purchased this key it did not have any rubber feet on it to hold it in place, and since I plan to operate in the field, I wanted both magnets and rubber feet. This minimalist base fits like a glove, adds virtually no bulk to the key, and includes beveled edges to match the contour of the paddle. A hole at the rear of the model is large enough to fit an average size connector to allow the base to be installed without removing the cable.
The magnets are 12mmx1.5mm and the rubber feet are approximately 6mmx2mm. I used a drop of glue under each magnet and the rubber feet.
The base prints easily and typically does not require supports. I suggest 4 top layers and 5 bottom layers with a minimum of 20% infill. The pictures shown are PETG-CF, and I would use PETG or ASA for temperature stability and impact resistance.
Feedback is appreciated and I will upload new files if I make revisions. Happy to share the tinkercad files if you reach out.
