Ok, I think I’m 90% of the way there. Now getting feedback from the machinists (including a super rad maker that frequents this forum)
So, we’ll see how the feedback goes and the adjustments but here’s some renders. It’s a two piece design making it more flexible for machinists.
I’m also open to feedback from you all!
I’m ready to order 
Back in business! I’ve been working with @jedgar on tuning new design and he’s going to be my manufacturer as well! I’m putting in an order with him then I’ll have them media blasted and hard anodized.
So, in a couple of weeks I will be able to take some orders!
The new two piece design makes it much more feasible to manufacture. Additionally I’ve made it so you can mount over the top of the camper, or have it come off the side. The part that mounts against the side can accept the T-Nuts on either side.
Additionally I’m reaching out to GFC to see if I can get a bulk order of t-nuts to be able to add to the order so you don’t have to buy from two places.
Check with Gzila as well for the Tnuts, should be able to do a bulk order and get a discount
Looking sharp!!!
Can you show it with the folding antenna mount on? Thanks, looks awesome
There is an earlier post with the V1 with the antenna mounted on it. But I’ll have more pictures after anodizing
I just saw his post on instagram and thought it looked familar! I really look forward to this design. Any idea when theyll be up for sale?
Thanks all! First batch of 10 is being milled starting last week. Once they show up here I’ll get them off to anodizing and I’ll link the store.
I’ll have a listing for the Nylon-CF 3d printed antenna cradles up as well. I’m working on design that can be milled out of aluminum but I need to figure out the costs and if it’s worth doing it. It doesn’t need to be aluminum, so there is that. Mine has been on the truck now in the sun, rain, etc now for 8 months and it’s holding up fine.
The cradles look nice… I would suggest adding a slot in the cradle so a voile strap could secure the antenna down to the cradle.
I should have the mounts back from anodizing this week. I also ordered t-nuts so I can sell it all as a package so you don’t have to buy from two places.
I want to see how the anodizing comes out before I list them for sale, but should be later this week!
@Gregclimbs thanks for the suggestion on the cradle. I’ve had mine on my truck for a year now and I haven’t had the antenna bounce out. A very slight bit of pressure using the spring keeps it in place in the gnarliest stuff. I am working on an aluminum cradle right now as well.
Everything is back and I’m assembling kits. I’ll post a link to the store this weekend. (It has some other things up there too)
I’ll also reach out to the people who sent me a direct message as well with a link ahead of my post in this thread. Thanks @jedgar and @GZilaDesigns for being a part of this!
Looks great, nice work!!
Store is up! Additionally I’ve created a new version of the wire clips I’ll be including with orders.
Thank you all!
