1.7 GHz LHCP helix scaffold (HRPT)
thingiverse
### I have released an OpenSCAD file on github that can generate any helix scaffold proceduraly, check it out: https://github.com/sgcderek/dsgc-helix-scaffold A simple, 3D-printable scaffold for a 1700 MHz helical antenna feed. Supports wire with up to 4.5mm diameter. Can (and should) be printed with no supports and a big layer height. Uses significantly less plastic and prints much faster than comparable 3D-printed helical feeds. Before winding, it is important to pre-form solid-core wire into a rough helix shape (see below). If you wind solid-core wire directly into the scaffold there's a good chance that one of the legs will break.  The holes on the mounting legs are 1cm in diameter, a washer can be used to mount it with smaller screws. The helix is LHCP, the polarization is inverted when used with a dish reflector thus once assembled it results in a RHCP antenna. *If you want a modified version, let me know and I'll be happy to make it!*
With this file you will be able to print 1.7 GHz LHCP helix scaffold (HRPT) with your 3D printer. Click on the button and save the file on your computer to work, edit or customize your design. You can also find more 3D designs for printers on 1.7 GHz LHCP helix scaffold (HRPT).
