Protecting Skytrak

[Csarran]

So I received my ST today and love the accuracy/ease of use. However, it makes me nervous having it so close and slightly in front. Anyone have any protection ideas until the protective case is released? I was planning on using it with our First Tee kids but I am holding off until the unit can be protected.

Thinman has got one that hes mad at he might do it.......HA

This is what I bought in Japan (heavy thick steel and works great - looks just like MikeAa's design) w/o having to build it myself. Only costs ~$78 (https://cart.sky-trak.com/products/SKYTRAK-PROTECT).

Double, how does one order that from Japan?

I happened to go to Japan for a trip last year, so just ordered online and had it delivered to my hotel for me to pick up when I arrived at hotel. But I think Rakuten Global also sells it and delivers globally (http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/e...-skytrak-case/).

Finished my protective box. Thanks to all who helped out with template for cutouts. Going to redo the Lexan plate because of the scratch from my hole bit when I drilled out a pilot hole for the jigsaw. Jigsaw with plexiglass Bosch blade at slow speed cut setting works best. Cutouts work perfectly and all shots register. I can now hit without the fear of damaging my new toy.

I must be blind. Tring to find a sketch with measures on the forum. No luck or just plain stupid!
Can anyone Point me in the right direction or perhaps send me a drawing?

If Anybody wants to DIY Posted the cad files for the FMJ here

Necroing this thread here as its the first one to come up on Google when searching for skytrak stl's. I designed a few files to help move the 3d printed skytrak world forward. My case as it stands is based on davray666's design ( wish he uploaded the files for his original). I have a 3d skytrak model I will host on an stl sharing platform as well as a 3d file for davray666's lexan template. I am working out a few details before uploading the files as I just finished the case today.

My case was printed with TPU at 31% infill so it's sturdy but also has give to protect from a wayward ball. 1/4" on all sides and a 1/4" piece of lexan. I plan to use the bottom screws to print a secondary base that will hold an alignment rod and leveling feet. The top cover may go through a revision so as to allow a level to sit on the unit itself and not be thrown off by the printed pieces alignment.

I started this project after reading these old threads and originally planned to go with awisnia's route of metal as I have plenty of it laying around but liked the idea of a lightweight full coverage case more. I do not like skytrak's official metal cover for the price. Not to mention I usually prefer the diy route as it's more fun.
