Car radio antenna ^^ / M5 spacer
Description
Last Week I Went To The Car Wash But Forgot To Take Of My Radio Antenna. So It Broke Down. The Socked For The Antenna Was M5 Thread So I Thought Lets Try Making My Own Antenna. I Bought A Meter Of M5 Threaded Rod And Divided It In 4 Pieces, (So I Had Some Spare-Parts For When It Happens Again) When I Connected It To The Socked My Radio Worked Great Again, It Only Looked Crap. So I Thought Lets Make Something I Can Screw Over The M5-Rod. Next Thing I Did: I Made A Pipe(Inner Diameter 4.6Mm Outer Diameter 5.4Mm In Solidworks And Tryed Experimenting With Slic3Rs Spiral Vase Settings, After Some Experimenting I Finally Found The Right Settings To Make The Female M5 Thread To Fit Over My Rod. Settings I Used: Nozzle Size: 0.8 (Mine Is Just 0.4 But Otherwise I Cant Make A Layer Thickness Of 0.75) Layer Thickness : 0.75 Speed: Very Low (7Mm/S) Perimeters: 1 Fan Speed: A Constant 70% Material Settings: Filament Diameter: 1.75 Then I Set The Extrusion Multiplier On 2.21 Because I Needed Atleast Dubbel The Amount Of Material Because Of The Layer Thinkness And Width I Wanted. After That I Needed To Scale The Object So It Would Fit My M5 Threaded Rod, So In The End I Scaled The Object To 144% Normal Size. Result> "Female" M5 Threaded-Rod I Also Tryed Printing The "Male M5 Threaded-Rod By Scaling My Pipe Down To 61% And Worked Great Aswell. Hope This Is Usefull To Someone ^^
