Question about parts for assembling

#1 · 2023-06-05, 17:03

Hi,

at the moment I am searching, ordering and printing all the parts for assembling the Satran MK3.
But for two parts I have a question.

1. Is the antenna bracket as STL file for 3d printing available? If not, is it selfmade or somewhere available to order?
2. What kind of ferrite-bead is used for FB1 and FB2?

I hope one of you can help me.

Thanks a lot

Theres a pdf on the downloads page with a scale 1:1 blueprint of the antenna bracket so you can use it as a template to cut your own in aluminum. The MK1 has files for a bracket in 3d-printed plastic that might work, but it is not as strong as metal.
Any axial ferrite can be used, or just bypass them with wire if you like or put a ferrite bead on the incoming power cable instead.

good luck

The blueprint for the elevation bracket specifies 1.5mm aluminum plate.
