I cant be sure where the flexure was coming from on the tube or whether it was from a number of sources (it wasnt the camera gear or focuser). But the braces fix it  Performs great. Maybe for a smaller chip it wouldn't have mattered, but the STL isn't a small chip and i was also looking for high quality

Great to hear you solved the star shape issue, the frame looks lovely
It seems that many scopes, even high end ones, need some clever investigation and correction to get them to sing at times. E.g. While still providing acceptable results, with my large 16803 chip on my very fast AG12 I would love to have some easy image plane tilt adjustments available
...buuut instead of fabricating a solution..
.. I just started using a smaller chip
...of course I will likely return to using the big chip on the AG12 in the future
...so I too will have to work something out then
