Dipole is done

I made a 1/2 wave dipole antenna using 14 AWG aluminum wires
I recorded 30 mins of work but this job took me 2 total hours to complete

For starters i ALMOST disintegrated my 3D printer because of a stupid soda can

I forgot i kept it under the arm (the X axis arm that moves up and down)
and i didnt realise i kept it there, My first layers were SO trash
because of it it was a solid half an hour of troubleshooting till i
figured out what the issue was.
Thankfully i didnt overtighten my screws so my rails are fine, But i
cant say the same about my nozzle

My nozzle scraped the bed after i removed the can cuz i set the Z offset
too low and i did stop the print but it was lowk a lil late, It still
works so thats fine But this stupid 6min print took me 2 Hours of work

Anyways, This half wave is made of aluminum 14AWG single cored wire, i
used a drill machine to straighten it and then cut 16.75cm pieces ( 2 cm
more than that and then i folded the 2 cm part to work as connectors)
It looks pretty perfect to me, I hope it works that way too

If this doesnt work as expected ill look into building my DIY balun
