This is a generator for clips to build directional antennas with aluminum extrusion (T-Slot). It was designed to allow quick prototyping for Quick2Space, check out their project page here: https://bitbucket.org/Quick2space/433mhz-antenna/src/master/
It generates one dipole clip and N rod (director/reflector) clips in a set, ensuring the rods are in the same plane with the dipole, iow the same distance from the aluminum extrusion
It uses a single screw (typically M3 for 15mm extrusion) to both tighten the rod and attach to the T-slot.
It prints as is, no supports required.
The included STL example is for 1515 (MakerBeam XL) and 3/16" rods, and uses M3 10mm screws, but you can "Open in Customizer" and adjust as needed.
