5/7/2025 Update: Middle mount has modeled ¼-20 threads now. If you printed the first version you will have to tap the threads.

4x ¼-20 x ¾" SS flathead screws for pipe mount plate.
1x 4"x4" x 0.1" thick 304SS plate. I use onlinemetals.com since they cut to size. Was $12 for SS or $10 for .25" thick 6061 aluminum.
Assembly:
Loosely attached the two side mounts and the middle pivot, then tighten once everything is adjusted as necessary. Use the drill guide to drill the ¼" holes in the metal pipe mount plate and drill holes as necessary for the pipe mount U-bolts. Attache the pipe mount plate using the flathead ¼-20 screws. Attach to the antenna pipe or to whatever it is getting mounted to.
Printing:
Print two of the solar mounts.
.2mm layer height
75% infill
Supports as desired depending on how you orient the part to print.
