Baofeng UV5R EXOSKELETON

I designed this Exoskeleton for my Baofeng UV5R radios. It slides over the radio and locks in place with the belt clip screws. 
You can still operate:
- The Battery remove button (if you have small hands like me)
- Use the belt clip
- Use the volume knob
- Use a large antenna
- Use the PTT button with/without gloves
- Use CALL/MONI with a press with the edge of your finger

The main benefit behind an exoskeleton is that it is light, you won't press the PTT on accident and the volume knob won't be turned off/up on accident.

3D printing settings

I printed mine in SUNLU PETG with the following settings:
- 5 Walls
- 60% infill (Almost entire walls but some parts are still hollow)
- 0,2mm per layer with a 0,6mm nozzle
- No support. The model has integrated support!

Printed on a Prusa MK3S with a REVO hotend and 0,6mm nozzle.
Use a Textur PEI plate for a nice top.

I have noticed some of the prints will give the side button cover a bit of warp so it does have a tiny bit of play but nothing to remark
