Vertical Antenna Tripod
Description
I wanted to design and make my own tripod mount for a vertical whip antenna. I didn’t want to pay for a premade from wolf river coil, or buddipole. I’ll post more photos at another time. I designed this to be flexible. 10mm center hole to allow for printer tolerance for a 3/8-24 antenna mount. Two 2mm tunnels allow you to pass ground cable that touches the connector to the top portion. The two smaller holes on top are for either a press in threaded insert, or a screw/bolt of the right size to thread in. The leg holes are 10.1mm in diameter, which fits a 3/8 rod. Infill should be okay at 20% gyroid, but I’d recommend 50% or higher for structural strength. I’ll be making a leg adapter where you can stake the legs to the ground to make it more resistant to tip over. I’ll likely also make a version of this tripod that has a down facing hole for stake mounted use.
