Update 6/30/23: Another revision. The puck now has a slot for a weight attachment! The attachment is secured using a leg, so nothing special is required. It should be able to support up to 10lbs, but only 5lbs has been verified.
I have created a PDF for assembling your own PolyPuck.
I wanted to design and make my own tripod mount for a vertical whip antenna.
I didn’t want to pay for a premade from wolf river coil, or buddipole.
I designed this to be flexible and adaptable for what you need.
10mm center hole to allow for printer tolerance for a 3/8-24 antenna mount. Remove the isolator that comes with the mount. It is not needed.
Two 2mm tunnels allow you to pass ground cable that touches the connector to the top portion. I suggest 14 awg bare copper wire.
The two smaller holes on top are for either a press in threaded insert, or a screw/bolt of the right size to thread in.
The leg holes are approximately 10mm in diameter, which fits a 3/8 rod.
Legs can be any
