drive-on mast stand adaptor for 7 metre pole

thingiverse

This is an adaptor made to fit the drive-on mast stand (sleeve type) available from Sotabeams to accommodate the 7 metre Sotapole and other similar telescopic masts with a 36mm outer diameter on the bottom section. This came about as I have both these items but no real way to pack out the sleeve on the mast stand to hold the pole vertical when operating portable, The adaptor is printed to fit the tube inner diameter and has a lip to stop it falling into the tube, the mast can be fed through either by putting this face down over the top of it or removing the base cap. If this is printed in PLA it will need weatherproofing, I used fixative spray from a local art supplies shop to achieve this. I had originally made this in August 2021 but had not uploaded it to Thingiverse for whatever reason at that time, now I have and you're free to use it. I did a YouTube short on it at the time which is here https://youtube.com/shorts/0VfzmqaFeqo
