PolyPuck V3 Kit

Easy to assemble. Nice mounting system. I used three 1 foot Aluminum 3/8" rods as feet. Works great.

Poly Puck - Inventors Spirit

With the advent of 3D printing, the world of creativity and inventiveness has sparked again. Kevin W0AEZ embodies this spirit with the Poly Puck. For light weight operation it doesn’t get any better than this. You could certainly spend more $$$ for something built by others but it would not be as light. I’ve configured the Poly Puck as a vertical with good success using the MFJ-1979 as the vertical radiator and six radials. Usually run 20m and 17m with this antenna setup. I think this is great option for portable work, especially if you are man portable and trying to shave as much weight as possible.

Great product

I love this design. It is perfect for a based loaded (adjustable) telescopic whip. This would be a five star product if it were injection molded. The 3D printing is very good but when I connected it directly to the base of my coil, the connecting screws sank uncomfortably deep into the puck (low density is characteristic of 3D printing).

A great modification would be to leave a couple of through-hole passages for two screws that could be used to attach the puck directly to a coil.
