Yeti Wurks Base Station Solar Integrated Pole Mount
Description
This is an integrated pole mount for the Yeti Wurks Base Stations and 4w Solar charger. The design is meant to mount on a 1.375" would Pole/Dowel. Lowes has a 48" long one for under $9. I did drill pilot holes through the mounting holes into the pole before screwing everything together. I used WeatherMax Stainless Steel Pan Phillips Sheet Metal Screws size 8 x 3/4 (Sku 127052) also from Lowes to attach everything. The 1.375" wood pole fits great into a Starlink ridge mount, but I did paint the pole and use 1 wrap of electrical tape along the bottom to snug it up in the ridge mount before screwing it in. By moving my Base Station from a 2nd floor window onto the roof, I went from a .5 mile range to a 3-5 mile range! It helps a lot. On the ridge mount itself, I used a screw on each side of the mount through the side openings the Starlink would normal have tabs that use the openings to clip in. This will prevent the pole from slipping out of the ridge mount. Note: The picture show an open "back" to the mount. This is due a print failure. It covered 75% of the pole so I decided to still use it an just put the mounting screws on the sides of the pole instead of the back. Its 10 hr print and I didn't want to start over.
