This is a protective cover for the front of an Icom IC9700 or an Icom IC7300 Amateur Radio Transceiver. The front face plates of both of these Icom radios are identical and so for those of us lucky enought to own both, two print runs will do the job nicely.
It is designed to be a tight fit and so dimensional accuracy of your 3D printer will be important.
It only fits one way up, the radius of the bottom corners of the front panel are different (larger) than those of the top corners.
I would suggest that printing in PLA is adequate for most situations, since the radio should be in some form of carrying box or bag, as well as being fitted with the cover. It should therefore be protected in its turn, and if the PLA gets hot enough to soften then the radio is in trouble anyway! PETG would be even tougher.
I modified standard slicer profiles and printed with layer height 0.2mm, 3 vertical shell perimiters and 3 top and 3 bottom solid layers. I turned on (Prusa Slicer) extra perimiters on overhangs, just in case the 40 degree step out that makes the seating rim needed it. I set seam positions as random. Infill was set to 15% Honeycomb, top fill Monotinic Lines and bottom fill Monotonic. Skirt was set to 1 loop, 2mm outside object and 3 skirt layers, no brim. I turned off support. Speed was left as default. I used PLA with temperature adjusted to 200°C first layer and 195°C Others with bed at 60°C (These are temperature tower result settings YMMV).
Cooling was set 100% always on, disabled on Layer 1 ramping to full at layer 4. The print comprises 258 layers to a total height of 51.6mm.
The side walls with effectively 5 perimiters are 2mm thick and pretty tough. With there being effective extrusion overlap where the sides step out no support is necessary. The skirt is set close to the print because there is only just enough room on a 250mm build plate (on my Prusa i3Mk3S+). I printed on a smooth PEI build plate with a surface coat of '3DLAC Plus' to be sure of no lifting of this big surface area.
If you print in translucent or transparent material then the honeycomb shows through what becomes the front face with a pleasant effect.
With standard speeds and flow rates this is a 10 hour print on the i3Mk3S+.

PS: If you have anything in the shack causing dust (like actually doing the dusting!) then these will stop the controls getting dusty too.
PPS: Keep watching this space as I am considering designing two clips to work with the side bracket fixing screw holes so that the face plate can be even further secured.
