Crosshair 1.3GHz

thingiverse

Here is the ultimate 3D printed Long Range ground station for FPV. It's a combination of multiple objects put together. First, I designed a Moxon antenna - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1618714. Second, an Antenna tracker - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1038005. And a tripod saddle or something similar to fix the antenna tracker. In my case, it was a Manfrotto 200PL - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1614895. Finally, this thing, the 1.3GHz Crosshair antenna 9 dBi. To print: 4- Contour_Antenna 1- Center_X 4- Tip X 4- Crosshair 1.3GHz 2- Support Moxon Crosshair 1- of all the remaining parts In this prototype, I used ABS and assembled the reflector plate with ABS Glue found in the plumber section of a hardware store. Once you've finished assembling the base plate, follow the instructions from IBCrazy on how to build a Crosshair Antenna - http://fpvlab.com/forums/showthread.php?3626-Crosshair-10-dbic-Circularly-polarized-antenna-tutorial! However, instead of using big nylon screws to support the elements at the right height, use the 3D printed part Crosshair_1.3_protect. I also used a 1/64th copper plate instead of a galvanized plate for the reflector. Print settings: Printer: Wanhao I3 V2 Moded Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 30
