Full model: Air Defence Radar Station Desk Model (Cold War style) on Cults3D, EUR 3.49: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/air-defence-radar-station-desk-model-cold-war-style

A small Cold War style radar dish for your desk: an open lattice parabolic reflector with back ribs, a feed strut and a feed horn, standing on a little plinth with my roundel badge. It prints in one piece, upright, with no supports, because every lattice hole has 50 degree edges. It is a display model and a generic design, not a replica of any real radar, with no insignia or trademarks.

Want the whole station? The full Air Defence Radar Station Desk Model has a bigger search dish that turns through 360 degrees on a snap bearing, a radar cabin, a nodding height finder and an optional slow turn motor mount for an N20 gear motor or a 28BYJ48 stepper. It is on Cults3D for EUR 3.49: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/air-defence-radar-station-desk-model-cold-war-style

Print settings

PLA, 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layers, 2 or 3 walls, 15% infill, no supports. About 25 g and 1.6 hours (estimates, not slicer output). Size 77 x 47 x 37 mm. The lattice bars are about 1 mm, so turn on thin wall detection if your slicer drops any.

Honest notes

Not test printed yet. Checked in software only (watertight, one body, flat on the bed, no supports needed). The picture is a render. The lattice is fine and delicate, so handle it gently.
