Description

This was and old project that i abandoned, (no more $$  ) might return later.

  • This is a cheap way to bring radio astronomy to the masses! or just a way to listen to the air waves

THIS IS UNFINISHED (WOP)

  • No Code Provided
    • Project Contains, 2x Nema 17 steppers
    • 1x Raspberry Pi 3 b
    • common limit switch
    • ~20" Dish Antenna 
    • i bunch of COT's that i dont remember, you can just measure the diameter, should be metric
  • This might hurt your computer when fully assembled (sorry for my random part names)
  • Will need a counter weight, b/c of the high torque created by the dish's weight. mb

 I know there are a lot of weird techniques used, they where mostly made to be cost effective. This model was designed to be printed on a Ender 3 bed (220 x 220 x 250 mm). The purpose of this creation was to allow for tracking satellites and or radio astronomy, if you wish to continue progress on this project, reach out! I still have a archive of information, and could add you to the old discord!

 

I WILL ONLY UPLOAD THE ENTIRE MODEL IF THERE IS INTEREST B/C THERE ARE A LOT OF PIECES!
