<p>This screen accurate version mounts to a ProComm 3" Ball mount, The base is accurate to the RadioShack dimension. If you have already installed a ProComm mount, You will have to patch and repaint that area in order to mount this one or a future obtained radioshack ball mount. Alternatively, you can see my Radio-shack styled base <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/41376-jp-whip-antennae-base-rs-style-base">here</a></p><p>Whats included:</p><ul><li>3D printable Base</li><li>.DXF drawings for the metal backing plate (plasma cut or hand cut)</li><li>.DXF for a rubber gasket (1/16" thick rubber gasket material is recommended)&nbsp;</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>INSTRUCTIONS:</strong></h3><p><i><strong>3D Printed Base</strong></i></p><ol><li>3D print the base in ASA or ABS or whatever works best for you @100% infill</li><li>Sand down the print lines in the visible areas</li><li>Primer and paint in grey, I used a semigloss/satin finish, but its recommended to use gloss and a clearcoat to give maximum protection to the paint.</li></ol><p><strong>Metal Components</strong></p><p><i>Metal components are smaller versions of the ProComm base plates you get when you order it.
