13 elements yagi antenna and azimuth & elevation rotator. Material used:
* 1.65m Antenna/camping balkon tripod from eBay
* 2000 x 15 x 15 allu rectangle tube for antenna beam
* two 2000 x 20 x 20 allu rectangle tube for rotator frame and azimuth axis
* ?x 8mm allu tubes for yagi elements
* 1x 12mm allu tube for yagi radiator
* plenty of M4 screws with nuts and washers
* 4mm plywood for rotator sides
* 2x TB6600 stepper drivers
* 2x NEMA24 stepper motors
* 2 endstops from eBay
* Wemos Lolin32 as rotator controller
* PLA filanment (ABS was bending too much for big parts)
See my [github](https://github.com/yeckel/ESPSatTracker) repository for ESP32 bluetooth rotator controlling SW.
I thing the building process is pretty clear.
+ Print the corners of the cube
+ cut the 20mm tube to 12 20cm long pieces
+ connect pieces to the frame
+ add 4 plywood walls so they fit
+ drill holes for axis slightly smaller then the bearing is
+ attach gears
+ add gear to the stepp
