137MHz QFH Antenna Supports

thingiverse

So I made this QFH antenna and needed a weatherproofing cap and supports to hold the wire, I thought I could share for those who might find them useful. The Antenna was built with 40 mm pipe and 4mm aluminium fencing wire. There are 40mm, 50mm and 60mm versions so you can use any of the 3 pipe diameters. The antenna was made folowwing this guide: https://f4bpp.com/articles.php?lng=en&pg=116&tconfig=0 For the cap you must rotate it in your slicer so it fits the print bed For the supports you print two of them. On each end of the four supports you can drill a small hole and tie the antenna wire with a thin wire to keep it in place.
