Summary

This full-length cradle holds the MX-K2 iambic CW keyer firmly on a steel surface such as a desk plate, radio case, operating table, field box or vehicle panel. The keyer snaps in from above under two small retaining lips, which have chamfered lead-ins and 45° supports underneath, so the cradle prints without supports.

Features:

  • Inside sized for the MX-K2's aluminium body (about 48 × 22 × 100 mm), with fit clearance

  • Runs the full length of the keyer, with a low rear stop that sits below the KEY and TRANSCEIVER jacks

  • Both ends open, so the SPEED knob, F1/F2 buttons, LED and jacks are all easy to reach

  • Four recessed pockets on the underside for 10×4 mm round magnets

  • A floor window so you can push the keyer out from below

  • A rear-section test coupon so you can check the fit before printing the whole cradle

  • Fully parametric OpenSCAD source: cavity size, wall and floor thickness, lip size, and magnet size and position

Outside size: about 58.4 W × 30.3 H × 105.5 L mm Inside cavity: 53.6 W × 24.2 H × 103 L mm

Print settings:

  • Material: PETG recommended (it flexes a little for the snap fit and handles heat).I used PCTG.

  • Layer height: 0.2 mm

  • Walls/perimeters: 3–4

  • Infill: 20–30%, gyroid or grid

  • Supports: none

  • Orientation: as modelled, flat base on the bed and open top facing up

  • Brim: not needed

Hardware:

  • 4 × 10 mm diameter × 4 mm neodymium disc magnets

  • Superglue (CA) or 2-part epoxy

Assembly:

  1. Print the test coupon first and check the fit on the rear of the keyer. Adjust cavity_width / cavity_height if needed.

  2. Print the full cradle.

  3. Glue the magnets into the four pockets on the underside. Keep all four magnets the same way up, with the same pole facing out.

  4. Let the glue cure, then snap the keyer in with the jacks at the rear stop end.

Tips:

  • Too tight? Raise cavity_width or cavity_height by 0.2 mm. Too loose? Lower them.

  • To stop it sliding on smooth metal, put thin rubber or felt pads between the magnets.

  • On painted or delicate surfaces, put a thin layer of tape or felt under the magnets.
