I have never tried that, AND I MUST SAY:, I doubt the possibility of it. Remember, satellite signal tracking/practice is a precision technology!

Wow... Very good post...

Maybe later I'll try to make my own dish here in Brazil. How about 7m?

First, I need read all posts.

Thank you friend for good informations...

@ geometry. I have a dish that I want to paint. Most online suggestions say that , the paint must be a flat/ matte paint. However, I have been through most paint shops. However, they don't understand the meaning of flat/ Matt . nothing of that sort is also written on their containers. The only one I saw was an emulsion paint with the Matt written on it.
Any help? Counting on u to select a paint.

@IRON, use gloss paint, ''grey/arsh'' is acceptable because of its property as regards radiation reflection, protecting your LNBF from being heated

geometry:


put a tape to the edge of your dish with the face up, (reflective surface).. you might need the assistance of a second person though, to hold the tape to the edge and you pull out the reel to take measurement at the opposite end.
Now, you need to move your hand that holds the tape to the dish edge left and right while the other guy remains stationary., during your movement you pick the highest value recorded as your dish size,

Re: (diy) Design And Fabricate Your Own Satellite Dish Of "all Sizes", Ask How.now by isladelobos: 9:26pm On Apr 11, 2017
Hi.

Geometry:

Comparing this value with the circumference of the paraboloid;
2[PIE]r
= 2*[PIE]*125,
= 250*[PIE],
= 785.7142,
= 785.71cm. QED.

Im thinking in what PIE number your'e using?.... from Archimedes directly? jejeje.

If you divide 785.7142 / 250 = 3.1428568 <<-- ¿this is your PI number?

If i use the normalized PI number 3.141592 etc....

D*[PI]= 785.40cm.

This is a very insteresting thread.

Thanks for share.

Today i prepare a file in PDF format for print in Din-A4 paper.

Are the plans for make a 2500mm parabola dish mold.
Simple: only print and create the real mold.

@mrKlock, sorry for late response, please, accept my apology. If you stay in Lagos, there are several locations at which you can make your purchase... seeing your post have made a request of a good supplier. I intend putting his shop location on here for any one having similar issues.... in the interim, I am attaching a google map with an approximate ''spotting'' here we go:

https:///maps/uUGxeNKzhjA2

at this location ask of ORISTO that sells chamicals,

HE GAVE ME PERMISSION TO OFFER HIS NUMBER TO CALL FOR ANYONE THAT IS MAKING A PURCHASE, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CALL BEFORE STARTING TO GO ... 08037120177.
HOPE THIS HELPS.
