/*
>>> COMPACT 3D-PRINTED PADDLES <<<
Torbjørn Skauli, LA4ZCA (tskauli@gmail.com)
v2.0, December 2018
Iambic paddles designed for 3D-printing. The design is simple, but provides precise movement with adjustable force and travel. Design features include a printed rocker hinge, force adjustment by a sliding spring, travel adjustment using a modified screw, ergonomic grip and general simplicity and precision.
Changes in v2.0: The paddles have been made narrower, and the base is thinner. There is an option to remove the bottom mounting holes. The base extends under the paddles to protect them from being pushed upwards. The cable exit is on the side, to fit mounting on the QCX transceiver.
TODO:
-Arms 1-2 mm higher, spring channel longer towards contacts?
Materials:
- 3 printed parts
- 2 screws M3x5mm, cylinder head, with washers for adjustment if needed
- 1 screw M4 x 18-20mm, cylinder head, with lockwasher and nut
- Compression spring, 6-8 mm in diameter
- Compression spring, 4-5 mm in diameter
- Cable with plug as required, up to 3.5 mm diameter
Note: Nickel plated brass screws have been found to give the most reliable contact operation. Dimensions of screws, springs and cable can be changed in the code.
Assembly:
- First, prepare the 3D-printed parts by removing support material in the arm spring well and in the ends of the cable holes. Also remove any protuding edges and bumps by gently filing the surfaces.
- Place the large spring so that it is held between the paddles approximately in the middle of the spring well. Also place the small spring in the holes at the hinge. Temporarily slide the two paddles in place. Check the spring force on the paddles and adjust as desired by either moving the spring along the well or by bending the spring to change its length. Make sure that the small spring keeps the arms in place at the hinges during use.
- Remove 6-8 cm of the outer isolation (if present) of the cable and 1 cm of the inner isolation of each wire. Insert the cable from the back through the diagonal hole, and temporarily pull it out from the side "window". Insert the cable back into the other hole and press the cable bend into the window so that the outer isolation ends in the interior wiring well. This forms a strain relief.
- Prepare a 18-20 mm M4 screw with cylindrical head by grinding the outer 5 mm to flatten two opposing sides. Preferably align the flattened screw end with the slot in the screw head.
- Enter two M3 screws with cylindrical heads into the paddle arms, with the heads facing inwards. Clamp the dot and dash wire ends under these screw heads.
- Enter the M4 screw from the bottom and clamp the ground wire underneath the lockwasher. Tighten the nut quite firmly, while allowing a small amount of adjustment of the screw angle to set the travel distance.
- Place the spring between the paddles and slide them in place. Adjust travel by rotating the M4 screw. If the travel is asymmetric, it may be necessary to correct the difference by placing a washer under the head of one of the M3 screws in the paddle arms.
