Aaaand it’s finally back together on the ra axis. Printing final gear for the dec axis now. Covers don’t quite fit back on but it’s a matter of millimeters. Some refinement of gear thickness and maybe a wee shave with the die grinder to take a bit of meat out of the mount.
Helluva lot quieter now. Be interesting when I get it in action to see how it goes. Been constantly Smokey here for weeks now. Can’t see any stars at night.
I printed a t2.5 version of the 9 tooth gear. Seems fairly strong compared to the gt2 gears I’d previously printed. Can’t snap it off with my fingers like the first version. Maybe I didn’t need the Rowan gears after all. Oh well.
I have a couple of t2.5 gears for one axis if anyone would like to give em a try. Have to supply ya own t2.5 belt though.
