I have no idea if this is a clever bypass around expensive commercial offerings, a clever waste of time that barely improves over doing it by hand, or somewhere in between, but it sure looks like a nice design and print.
It’s an automation step for a small scale factory
Yeah, definite neato factor but by eyeball at least I feel like I could do that bend by hand within a mm tolerance of this. Hard to imagine this precision is needed. Makes sense if mass producing these I guess.
This is a workshop for combat FPV drones, so precision is extremely important.
What am I looking at here? What are these antennae used for?
They’re popular with drone pilots, here’s some old school website about them
I’m not a radio guy, but for a drone antennae, wouldn’t you want vertical range rather than broadside range?
A drone operator usually is not standing directly under the drone, so no. Or alternately, the drone if probably further away from you horizontally than vertically during most of its operation.
One interesting thing here is that, for a given altitude, the antenna gain will be higher the further away the drone is.
Here’s the only thing you need to know: radio is black magic.
