I can't find Elusiver's focusser thread, so i will restart it.
An old retired gentleman has finished lathing a 4mm / 5mm coupling to attach the stepper motor to the focusser on my crayford.
I have taken off the knob on one side and will attach the stepper motor tonight.
Fingers crossed!
:fingerscrossed:
