Description
I got the idea of this model from a video I saw online. The only problem is that his model lacked many simple fixes that would make it easier to use, so I started from scratch and fixed them. This can be used for both N-type and SMA-type antennas, and an adapter plate can be made for any meshtastic device. The angle that your window sits might be different than mine, so you might need to modify the angle to get your antenna to truly be vertical. To screw my meshtastic adapter plate, which I have included for the Wisblock, I used computer chassis screws. I would recommend an 8-inch antenna cable. I would also recommend using a filament that can withstand heat. AKA not PLA.
Just an update: in PETG, this has survived on my car nonstop for over 6 months, through hot summer and cold winter, driving at over 70MPH at times. Thanks for all the support!
