This model contains parts needed to build a remote rotator system for use with the MastWerks mast and BuddiHex antenna.  The system has four components including a motor box that attaches to the MastWerks mast crank fitting, an electronics box that holds the circuitry required to control rotation, a circuit board and a battery box.  The boxes may be attached to the lowest section of the MastWerks mast using a 3D-printed clamp system. 

Printing parameters:

Filament:  recommend PETG for increased resistance to sunlight, weather and temperature.

Layer height:  either 0.2 or 0.25 mm

Infill:  15-20%

Support:  Organic support works nicely to maintain openings in boxes and clamp parts

The PDF files included with this model provide a description of the rotator system including a full bill of materials, schematic  and guidance on how to build it.  There is also a PDF file that fully describes the firmware and controller app needed to run the system.  The Arduino sketch and controller app are found on GitHub at the links included in the PDFs.
