Articulated Pringles can holder (Cantenna)

youmagine

I designed this cantenna holder for a Pringles can wifi antenna. It makes it easy to adjust and secure the antenna in any direction. The locking mechanism works with an M3 screw, nut, and washers. The mounting joint is similar to a GoPro joint. You will need an M5 screw and nut. Since this is a lightweight antenna, you may get by using plastic screws and nuts made by MoonCactus. I found these in the same link where I got the joint design. After that, you can attach it anywhere you want. I attached mine to a broken mirror stand I had lying around. I created a base for it that should work with any smooth rod if you adjust the diameters. You can find this base in the download section marked as optional. 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 because my files use the gopro_connector() module. Enjoy hacking!
