[Bustup15]

Any Funsters printed a case for Starlink flat mount yet or can offer the service?

I know nothing about eD printing but there are plans/plots/specs freely available from others who have already done it.

 

[Landy Andy]

PaulandChrissy is our resident 3d printer and will probably be able t assist.

 

[MisterB]

Apologies to others who are also just as competent...!

Have you done the surgery on the rear to remove the motors yet?

Everlanders on YouTube has published his files for 3D printing on his website I believe. I think I will ask Paul PaulandChrissy to do one for me too.

Dremel and a couple of YouTube videos and hey presto! What could possibly go wrong?

Have you got a link to the plans you’re referring to so I can have a look at them.

I’ve just found the Everlanders designs on you tube. This is a big print in 6 pieces that have to be glued together. It looks to be about 100 hours printing. That’s nearly a week of printing, one section per day assuming no failed prints. I would need to confirm that. You would then need to assemble it and add the angle brackets etc. it won’t be cheap to print. Will come back to you.

Just sliced all the parts up in Prusa Slicer to make sure it all fits on my larger printer, and it does, . You would have to do all the assembly yourself, but to print all six items in 6 perimeter wall thickness and 20% rectilinear infill as recommended by the designer, would cost about £150 to print. I’m sure there are cheaper ways to do this. Maybe not in such a stylish way, but probably just as secure. It’s not really going to be seen on the roof and making it look this perfect may be over the top. If anyone really wants to spend that amount, I’m more than happy to do it, but it will definitely take nearly a week to print each order. Let Me know what you think.
Cheers PaulandChrissy

Carpmart Having been through some trials and massive failures of 3D printing, and understanding the process a bit more, I think that's a good price !

 

[PaulandChrissy]

Big prints like this can be quite challenging and time consuming. They can be a labour of love sometimes.
Anyone that wants this holder must understand that there is obviously going to be some self assembly and construction on their part. Watching the you tube video about it is a must to appreciate what’s involved.

PaulandChrissy - Paul, could you print something like this for me? I can’t find the files for it, but then I could be looking in entirely the wrong places…

It’s a mount for the Starlink router so I can get it out of the cupboard and improve range etc.

 

[Tombola]

Full 3d printing for this isnt the best idea..things can go wrong it's costly and it can turn out not the best.
There must be better /cheaper ways...like printing brackets that silka and allow.sliding in and out or whatever.

I get your point, but if you flat mount a standard panel, you will have cut open the back case on the Starlink antenna to disable and remove the motors. Being a weatherproof and sealed mount at this point is then imperative really, hence why this kind of mount, in this scenario is probably the favoured approach.

Jezz printed mine for £25.00 in ASA 1kg reel in white.

Used ASA because it has….

• High-temperature resistance
• UV-resistant
• Weatherproof
• Very good mechanical properties

Would I print another one, no to time consuming and a few failed prints.

Jezz is obviously doing it for nothing as a friend. Grab it with both hands if he’s willing to do that for others as well.

Is this the right one. Link below.

Starlink G2 WiFi Router Mount by Zoglar

Starlink G2 WiFi router has a really weird shape that makes it hard to mount on the wall. I needed to install it on the sailboat's bulkhead. Design requirements were as follows: Compact size as space on a boat is at premium. Robust design able to withstand boat's rolling and pitching. Connectors...

ASA is undeniably the best material for external use, but it’s a nightmare for warping when printing, especially with large items. I’ve made a 4G antenna mount that’s been on my van roof for 2 years now in white PETG and it’s still fine. If printed in white, it doesn’t get hot in full sun unlike black. Much easier to print with a much lower print failure rate.

That's for the internal WiFi router, not the external panel?

That’s right. Carpmart is after the WiFi router mount.

This looks like a good option, sits lower than the Overlanders version https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/145...arlink+rv+flat+mount+dish&ref=sr_gallery-1-1#

That looks like a really nice solution. If you are going to spend some serious money, then that looks like a better option. Looks like everything is included in the kit. Just put it together. Good protection against hailstones which can be handy. We had hailstones the size of gobstoppers this winter in Spain. Scared the hell out of us.

They also do mounts for the router and even offer a dish cutting option using a cnc machine. Netherlands based.

Sounds like someone's being very pro active ready for the boom..

if they had them in stock, then it would be an easy option to collect on a motorhome trip via Harwich .... especially if they mod the dish aswell ...

Going to work on designing a starlink router mount with Carpmart soon. Will put some pictures up when we are happy with our design.

Yeh tell me, it’s a pain in the ass and everything has to be perfect, bed level, heat filament feed and the list goes on and on.

It took ages but I’ll not do another one to be honest would rather buy a ready made one and the best ones come from the states but cost a packet.

My Ender Pro 5 has had a battering and wished I had a bigger print area.

I’ve ordered a Prusa XL but it takes ages to come. 360x360x360. Very excited, but just got to be patient. Probably won’t come to the end of the year. Big prints are always a nightmare, but I’m hoping the XL with the option to use 0.6 and 0.8 nozzles will make things much quicker.
Stay Safe PaulandChrissy
