Pipe And Antenna Connector
Description
Thank you "Covid Everything-Shortage"... I've been trying to connect Antenna Poles and Monitor Mount Posts together, but I can't even get decent threaded U-Bolt Clamps that can't be easily bent with just your hands. Lately I've been forced to use cheap U-Bolts that come with those flat, Overly-Wide, Oblong-Holed, Shackles that each have two wallowed-out 16mm wide holes to fit two 8mm threaded U-bolt shafts. These cheap U-Bolts offer almost no lateral support to hold clamped parts together because the stupid-wide holes allow the cheap threaded U-Bolts to spread apart 16+mm when using them in applications with any amount of lateral force. These "Antenna and Pipe Connectors" will add a surprising amount of lateral strength to keep the free ends of these cheap U-Bolts from widening out inside of the shackle holes, which allows connected pipes/poles to lean badly.. These fit 5/16ths Inch, by 1 and 3/4ths, by 4 and 3/16ths Inch (7.95 mm X 44.45mm X 106.36mm) U-Bolt shackles, but can be scaled to fit larger or smaller sized U-Bolts and/or pipes. I use PLA filament to connect pipes/posts/etc indoors, and then use Carbon Fiber for connectors that will be used outside. I have several outdoor connectors that are holding fine after several months using ABS and Carbon Fiber. No Supports needed, 100% Infill, 0.20 Resolution. Keep in mind, Thanks to this never-ending pandemic we're down to using **PLASTIC** to try to keep cheap/flimsy imported **METAL** from bending... So, this is what it is... Hopefully we'll soon be able to get decent parts again. Please toss us a motivational "Like" if you find this useful :)
