This 3D Printed Satellite Antenna is fantastic!
How would you like to receive L-Band signals from a dish you made at home? If you have access to a 3D printer and a few simple parts, you can track signals from NOAA, Meteor, and other weather satellites from your ham station. Gabe Emerson of "saveitforparts" website takes you step-by-step through the design, production, testing, and use of this useful L-Band antenna.

Here are some comments from Gabe: This is a 3D-printable "Helicone" antenna for L-Band (NOAA, Meteor, and other weather satellites). It's available on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:643... It works just as well as my larger L-band satellite dish! And it's much easier to use hand-held for tracking Low-Earth-Orbit satellites. You'll also need an RTL-SDR and an L-band filter/ampl...
