This allows the movement of an antenna on two axis and also hosts all the electronics. It uses 4 radial bearings and one axial bearing. Everything (except for the bearings, axes and screws) was 3D printed with PETG. |

| * The antenna is one of the most important parts of this project. I chose to go with the default antenna that came with the RTL-SDR Kit. It is a V-Dipole adjustable one. In order to make this project work, I had to adapt it and print a piece that keep the two poles at a 120 degree angle. According to an article from the RTL-SDR forum, each pole's size must be 53.4cm. | * The antenna is one of the most important parts of this project.
