What’s New in REV 2

REV 2 includes several improvements based on real‑world use and feedback:

• Numbered pieces for easier reprinting and replacement
• Reinforced bolt locations for increased strength
• Adjusted tolerances so the dish seats more comfortably
• Smaller cable cutout for easier printing
• Included .f3d (Fusion 360) source file so you can add custom text to the LH lower piece—great for labeling dishes identifiers or adding Wi‑Fi details
  • Must be edited in Fusion 360
  • Emboss depth is 0.01mm. This works well if printing text in contrasting color
  • Change emboss depth to 0.5mm if printing in same color as mount

Description

• 8‑piece design
• Bottom pieces can be printed with or without magnet recesses

Recommended Print Settings

• Layer height: 0.2 mm (or 0.15 mm for finer detail)
• Infill: 35% Gyroid
• Walls: 6 perimeters (4 may be sufficient depending on material)
• Supports: Required from build plate only for magnet recesses
• Material: PETG recommended for durability. I prefer PETG-CF or PETG-GF
• Print profile does not include the non‑recessed lower pieces

Optional

• Each bottom piece has dot markers that can be printed in a contrasting color to simplify assembly
