SatNOGS antenna rotator. Part 4. The frame.

The frame is the skeleton of the SatNOGS rotator. And today I have started building it. Yesterday I received the cut T-slot 20x20, ball bearings 6008ZZ, hidden construction corners and T-nuts. Also, I have almost all the plastic parts printed (except ones I have planned to do of nylon).

SatNOGS antenna rotator. Part 3. STLs.

It seems that the antenna rotator is a pretty interesting thing. At least after I have shared links to articles in the Facebook. People started asking me about materials, files, my plans, and so on. This short third part is just about the place containing the STL files required to build your own copy of the SatNOGS rotator.

SatNOGS antenna rotator. Part 2. Materials and pricing.

Once the first article about the antenna rotator was issued I started receiving questions about the materials required for building the rotator as well as about the total price. I had explored resources here and there and prepared a short list of parts required on each step of the rotator assembly. The list describes the parts required to build a single cube (out of two). As far as there should be two identical cubes, the total number of materials and resources will be as twice as bigger.

SatNOGS antenna rotator. Part 1. Overview.

Something about one year ago I fell ill. Nothing serious, but satellites. I passed all steps, including reading forums, watching Youtube, building receiving (and, later, transmitting) antenna, and, finally, reaching the Space. Unfortunately, my mind has some disadvantage - I can't memorize the callsign right after I heard it. Therefore to be successful I have to write everything down. In order to be able to do this, I have to have my hands free of the antenna. This means I need the antenna rotator.
