Files for Stackable Rohn Section with Top/ Bottom Plates - Mast/Thrust Bearing - Rotor Plate
3D Model Description
I have noticed that 3d printable Ham radio models are extremely lacking and I hope to bring ham radio to the 3d printable space with replicas of your favorite equipment and antennas. This tower model is just the beginning of many models to come.
This 3d model is of a Rohn section used for building radio towers. It has been resized to only 3 rungs and scaled to fit a 9.5in (241.3mm) + build plate. I model it this way so it has the thickness plus the height without compromising the quality of the print.
On request I can upload different resized sections to best fit your print bed size.
I made this for my dad (w2re) for his live streaming channel Ham Radio 24/7

3D Printing Settings
I printed on a bambu labs P1S
Printed with Grey OVERTURE PETG for strength.
.4 Nozzle
.2 layer height
15% infill
Normal supports (snug style) I would print with the female end of the legs pointing up so you don't have to remove supports inside the legs. You will need to add support blockers at the top of the legs so you don't have a support running all the way up the side of the leg. it tens to fail and could cause issues during the print.
On my print bed I could print 4 section at a time but I recommend print only 2 at a time just in case you run into issues.
The sections should have a snug connection but you may want to add super glue to the legs so they don't come apart or you can add a layer of double sided tape to each leg so need be you can unstack them.
Print & Stack to your hearts desire.
I will be adding antenna models plus rotors to my profile shortly to make your ham radio tower complete
Feel free to message me if you have any question about the model.
