ZS1I Simple Small Projects: Baofeng UV82 Stand Holder



 I needed a proper stand holder for my Baofeng UV82 HT radio.  The original charger is a real mess and I will in future build my own charger for the radio.  As all the UV82 owners will confess this radio does not stand firmly when in an upright position.  Therefor I found that my UV82 was always lying down in a horizontal position.  This position has already resulted in several falls from a desk or table.  I found this stand holder and 3d printed it.  It is a real gem and works great.  A must have for all UV82 owners.  You have a choice to print a stand with two antenna holder holes or with no holes at all.  I opted for the one with two antenna holders.  The only thing that I would add is four rubber feet to prevent the holder from sliding around on a polished desk.

The 3 1/2 hours that it took to print this stand is worth the while.  I will print another stand for my bed room cabinet.
