Mast Guy Rings

prusaprinters

Need guy rings for your portable antenna mast?  Look no further. But why 5 holes?  5 hole guy rings offer easy attachment for 3, 4, or 5 guy lines, making them more universal and easier to use in a variety of setups.  Rings are sized by the inner diameter (ID) which is stepped up in 1/8 inch increments from 0.5 to 2 inches.  Each ID has 0.05 inch additional clearance for fit on the pole (0.5 inch ring is actually 0.55 inch ID, and 2 inch ring actually has 2.05 inch ID).  Guy line hole tie points are 0.25 inch diameter.Concerned about strength?  The 1 inch ID ring printed in PETG is able to withstand 150 lbs of load across two of the holes without breaking. For best performance, print in higher strength and higher temp plastics like PETG, ABS, or Nylon.  Use 100% infill.  Concentric infill will likely provide best strength. Get that antenna up, and get on the air!73 DE K6ARK
