Wayne,
Appreciate the feedback mate, looking forward to developing more of your ideas

Pete,
Thanks for the comments - Glad to hear it fitted perfectly the first time! It must have attracted those clouds

Phil,
It was good fun getting those designed with the OEM's logo on them

Lewis,
First time I did a glow in the dark print - pretty exciting. Looking forward to working on your projects.

Colin,
Can't wait to see if the dimensions all line up straight off the bat! Might have to keep this one away from your dog

All,
Another round of updates with two new additions - can now print in glow in the dark blue and green, as well as translucent material! Unfortunately don't have images for everything. Been a great year and looking forward to working with more members to get their concepts off the ground:
  • Currently developing a custom flange to mount a Robofocus unit to the focuser unit designed to only use only existing fastener holes
  • Printed two custom brackets to support two Reinshaw Encoders on a member's Equatorial mount to help digitise. Also looking into 2D files for laser cutting various parts
  • Re-designing the custom Secondary I initially posted for a 'v2' iteration
  • A polarscope holder that slides into the hot show on top of the vixen polarie
  • An f/6 stopper for a fast 5" Apo to help slow it down
  • Printed three white caps with the OEM's logo inlaid for instruments on a member's boat
  • Plenty of caps - for riflescopes, finderscopes, guidescopes, for missing telescope covers etc. One of them were done in glow in the dark - pretty cool!
  • Plenty of masks too as always - For a 10" Newt, WO100, 100ED, 80ED, 80ST and a custom 4" Apo. Each one unique (with custom names inlaid, fits over or inside the dewshield or rests on the secondary, a handle for easy removal etc)
As always, clear skies and keep those ideas coming!
