Does anyone make an adapter or robust case that can safely hold a Communications Specialist RC-SP, RC-MP, or RC-HP transmitter? These antennae snap off rather easily, but if someone made a 3d printed case to keep them safe, that would be ideal.

The Communications Specialist AT-2B transmitters were kept safe by the black plastic cases, the RC-HP's and such are less resilient.

Thoughts?
 
This- the current one sucks! I’m taping everything down with electrical tape, but it’s a bad stopgap. I also put it in a tracker pouch, but again, only partial solution.
 
Have you guys thought of mounting it in a segment of 29mm tubing with foam packing it in place? Epoxy a Kevlar loop to it and tape the ends.

Or better yet buy a LL Electronics XLF transmitter.
 
That's a good idea Justin.
I had my Marshal Scout [similar in shape] inside a rocket that came in ballistic today.
It was in a printed nylon shroud [case with no lid] protects the antenna connection.
It was shattered when I removed tape holding to cord, BUT the tracker was in perfect condition. I have NO doubts it would have been destroyed if not in the case.
I think nylon is the secret sauce for this use. Most plastic used in printing would not handle the shock.
