I recently bought a LoRaWAN antenna<\/a> that I mounted in my balcony for testing. The antenna works very well, although my balcony is just a few meters above the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n

Before: Antenna is attached temporarily on my plant shelf<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The antenna was temporarily attached to my wooden shelf. I wanted to build a proper mount and set about modeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result of this work can be found on Thingiverse.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I have a square railing on my balcony. When trying to attach the antenna directly to the railing I found that it is just unstable and loose. I need a mount that I can easily attach\/remove, but that also provides stability.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The antenna holder is modular and consists of two parts. The parts can be connected to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The lower half is attached to the balcony rail. The size is adjustable and fits into any square balcony rail. With the help of a hook, the construct snaps firmly to the rail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The antenna is attached to the upper half. It has a wide shape and needs to be more solil, so that it does not collapse when you attach the antenna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Print<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the antenna is outside and has a weight, it is important that the material withstands the weather conditions and does not deform. For this reason, I printed the whole thing with PETG. PETG is more challenging to handle than PLA, but it worked out well in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Result<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Here you can already see the result. It fits very well and the construction is stable.<\/p>\n\n\n

I am happy with the result. I shared it on Thingiverse including source code.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
