I redid the internal threads as they did not fit the common M10 stakes you can get off of Amazon, seems to be a slightly different thread. I have one I bought off of HamRadioDudes Etsy site and the stakes M10 threading is different from the Pac 12 Antenna Ground Anchors that are readily available online.

I have also added an 3/8x16 thread to the cap so that you are able to screw it to the standard Tripod Ball Head threads.

I had two versions, one with 3D printed threads and one that is designed to use Heat Set Inserts.

I would print this at a minimum with PETG. I have had good luck using PCTG.
