I bought a Yaesu 897D at a Hamfest that came with the power supply baseplate and a set of batteries. the previous owner had lost the baseplate that covered the batteries so I was unable to use them.
After relentless searching for a replacement, I decided to create my own and this is the result. The original plate is so very hard to find and I found many others looking so I am hoping this will be of help to others needing this.
in addition to the 3d files you will need the following;
1 - 7 m3x8 screws for the backplate
2 - 3 m3x12 screws for the front underside mount
3 - 4 m4x4 screws for the feet mounts
4 - 4 m3x4 threaded inserts for the baseplate assembly
5 - 4 m4x4 threaded inserts for the feet
6 - 4 19mm rubber sticky back feet for the bottoms of the feet
7 - (optional) some 5mm rod to bend to make a flip up stand if desired but not required as I haven't done that yet
I printed all of this in Prusament black PETG on my mk3+ and had 0 problems. the fit was pretty tight and I found that if I mounted the bottom front 3 screws first, the back 3 had larger holes for locating the threads to take in the back screws. I did end up using 3 m3 washers in the back but it's not necessary.
This should be all that's needed to make a sturdy baseplate for the transceiver whether or not you use the batteries. I did not make covers for the charging holes as I use the batteries but I did find a print for that on printables.
Thank you for taking the time to like my prints and as always, happy printing!
