This is a housing for the active antenna by A43 VERON and VRZA Zuid-Veluwe, I bought the X-Phase 2 and active antenna as a kit from a43.veron.nl and needed a housing and support to put it up, I mainly wanted a all in one solution that was air tight and easy to print.
I think it turned out well, container is fully rain proof, has a couple of holes to drain condensation and has a thread for a M10 screw (I use M10 rods as standard attachments).
All you need is to screw the BNC to the bottom lid and screw the the whole assembly to the top, attaching it upright will prevent rain from being able to penetrate the housing.
The top is purposely made thin to interfere the least with RF, but the botton section with the threads is much stronger so use that section to hold and screw the lid. (avoiding putting pressure on the thin section).
For my print I used PETG 0.2mm 2 perimeters, but added modifiers to have 3 perimeters on the very top and the thicker threaded section, but I don't think it's a required.

Not affiliated in any way with Veron a32, just made this for my own use and though other people would prefer to print a housing instead of using plumbing supplies.
