Bipod can be used to hold counterpoise wire for Buddistick or buddipole. fits into buddistick pro carrying case. can also be used to hold wire antenna ends off the ground. 

using 3/8" x 4ft fiberglass rod post (I purchased mine at tractor supply in the electric fence section) https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/sunguard-3-8-in-fiberglass-rod-post

four of the leg connectors will need to be printed. using two connectors cut the rod into 12-inch lengths I used three parts to get a three-foot tall leg.

I have printed both PLA and PETG and have had no issues.

UPDATE: It has been suggested by @Buck_947721 that this model should be scaled down to 83% in your slicer for a better fit and has been confirmed by other users. I found this too small for the rod I am using.  Depending on what you are using for the leg support you may need to adjust the scale accordingly.

While I made this in tinkercad, it was inspired by or a remix of k8mrd's tri-lam. I wasn't paying $45 for a few bucks in PLA. 

If you would like the original, all printed and nicely packaged and shipped please check out https://k8mrd.square.site/product/tri-lam/2?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=false&q=false
