Dual Feed N/F Connector Tool

thingiverse

There is a second version now which can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6249215 This is a lightweight field tool which I always have at hand when roving. I use it occasionally on my portable QO-100 antenna which has a Messi and Paoloni N-connector for the Tx helix and two generic F-connectors on the LNB (Rx and Freq Ref). Since high torques are not required and indeed best avoided, the tool can be printed in plastic. I used PETG for its heat and weather resistance properties as well as its ease of use. ABS filament would provide better strength but is more challenging to print. Tweaking the size printed by a few percent may be necessary to accommodate your particular printer tolerances. 73 Paul, F5VMJ https://twitter.com/F5VMJ
