    I plastidip the antenna base, of course after wrapping the threads with tape prior, of old cracked antennas with enough old rubber left. Some antennas seem good, though there is no rubber left. So thought I'd make a cover in the general rubber shape that can be used by those that like to 3D print. Can maybe print using a flexible filament or not and then PlastiDip.

    I haven't used OnShape in a year and for some reason was not able to get the Loft1 to Remove. Otherwise, I think the start of this design is almost ready.

    Keep in mind you'd need to split this into two pieces before making an STL, or whatever 3D printer file, if you use a solid filament. May need to as well with a flexible filament.

    Please feel free to see what you can do with, share and keep us posted if you can.
