KX1 carry cases

[Ken Kopp-3]

The response to my question about interest in KX1 cases
has been surprising.  I've received only two, and one of the
two is using a digital camera bag.

I have a KX1 that is loaned by a owner who wants a case,
and I'm thinking of something utilizing a K1 case with a
protective internal pocket for his KX1, leaving room for
extra "stuff".

I'm still interested in comments from KX1 owners, however.

I have an unusual soft bag for my KX1. i received a small zipper bag after eye surgery with drops etc in the bag. My KX1 and paddles fit neatly in the bag.

Like some other folks, I transport my KX1 in a small Pelican 1060 case
which provides room for paddles, earplugs and antenna fixings. It's
perhaps a little bulkier than I'd like, but not much.

A while back, I had the idea of making up a protective "cap" that would
fit over the control surface and present a smooth face, to slip into
most any carrying conveyance. I designed one in a CAD program, thinking
that I'd get a prototype or two made on a 3D printer. This turns out
to be prohibitively expensive - about $125 each, for a design that
I don't know is correct! So I have set that project aside for now... but
if someone has the ability to run such a thing more cheaply, I'd
be happy to share the design.
