Starlink (1st Gen) Pole Insert

The mast I used is made of 45mm diameter, 1.5mm wall thickness, 304 stainless steel tube. Tolerances on the diameter for both the stainless tube and the satellite dish stem can vary so the 3D printed insert may need dimensional refinement to suit. Mast length will vary depending on your installation, sufficient mast length above any obstacle such as the roof line / apex must be allowed for the satellite dish lower radius should the dish move to the vertical position.

The 3D printed insert is prevented from going too far down inside the mast tube by drilling an M6 hole across the tube at 196mm down from the top and an M6 x 60mm bolt is fastened across the mast tube.

A 20mm wide by 70mm long slot is cut down from the top of the mast tube corresponding to the similar slot in the 3D printed insert. This is a clearance slot for the cable outlet from the satellite dish stem. Cable ties secure the cable to the mast.

Once the 3D printed insert and satellite stem are assembled into
