I would suggest a 2x Barlow so you get 25mm , 12.5mm 10mm and 5mm focal lengths as these would be fine in your scope .

One question , is your scope columated well ? because the 10mm is 120x if its an f6 and that's an easy magnification in your scope and the supplied 10mm eyepiece's are or good quality mostly and should give a good image .

Actually, I found something like Obinar 6.3mm and 4mm ep (the budget one). But I haven't come across single ep for maede as mostly are sold in kit.

What do you mean by eye relief for 4mm plossl is about 3mm?

Do you know which one should I buy for barlow lens? I opt for seben since it's affordable but others can be considered too. As long as it's not too expensive.

Regarding your question,I just bought my dobsonian around 2 months ago. So i'm not sure whether it's columated well but so far, everything seems to be find when I use it.

Sorry, I'm quite noob regarding astronomical equipments.
