My DX Commander All Band (80m to 10m) Vertical (https://www.m0mcx.co.uk/) kept falling over due to fairly minor winds, I think because we've had so much rain that the ground beneath it is muddy and slick. Here's my solution.

Print as oriented with support. Stomp the tapered part of this device into the ground, and erect your DX Commander as usual on top of it, placing the screw-on base in the cup of the baseplate. The multiple spike model is for sand, although I haven't tried it.

Now, new and improved with Nubs! I added three nubs, 120° apart, to the outer rim to help locating guys. Loop a string around your DXC just above the base, mark how far away you want your guy anchors, and use the nubs to set your guy points evenly.

I had a problem when a plastic carabiner on a guy line came apart. Pole landed right on a steel wire in a trellis, and snapped the third section from the top in twain. Callum replaced my fiberglass pole at his cost, and I replaced the guy line carabi
