   I have been working on 3D printing a custom lid for the #mnt reform2 for a while now.

   Since it is going to be made from plastic, one of the goals is to have the W-LAN antennas in the lid, much like many vommercial laptops have. The theory is that reception will be a lot better.

   It took me a while, but now I've finnaly found suitable antennas (cable long enough, right connector). To test the theory, I taped them to the outside of the reform.

   Can confirm it works a treat!
