Articulated Pringles can holder (Cantenna)

I designed this holder for a wifi antenna made out of a Pringles can, also known as a cantenna. It makes it easy to orient and fix the antenna in any direction. The locking mechanism works with an M3 screw, nut, and washers. The mounting joint is a GoPro-like double joint, taken from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:62800. I give credit to @MoonCactus for this design. You'll need a M5 screw and nut to assemble it. Since the antenna is lightweight, you can use plastic screws and nuts made by MoonCactus, which are available at the same link. You can attach the holder anywhere you want after assembling it. I mounted mine to a mirror stand that had broken glass. I created a base for it that works with any smooth rod if you adjust the diameters. You can find this optional part in the download section. If you want to modify or check my .scad files, you'll need to download the gopro_mounts_mooncactus.scad file from the previous link, as my files use the gopro_connector() module. Keep on hacking!
