Hi all,
Merry Christmas! I'm toying with various ideas on how to mount laser pointers to scopes. I want to hear your thoughts on the design and general interest for this
Would these be useful? I know it would be especially great for visual users, it's certainly something I would like to have. Best part is that being 3D printed, this can be customised to almost any need. So far three ideas, each with the same top part and a different base:
- For those without a finderscope holder, a dedicated holder with in-built pointer holder. Can print with pilot holes for tapping [image 1] or cutouts for nuts [image 2] so users can use any nut/thread size if they dont have access to a tap and die set
- For those without a finderscope or a real need (low mag scopes), a base that slots into the finderscope shoe [image 3 and 4] and allows for adjustments vertically/DEC (via washers) and horizontally/RA (via the arc slot for movement).
- For those with a finderscope, a base that can be pressed onto the stem of an existing finderscope holder so that the laser pointer is held sideways and adjusted via the same way [image 5]
If there's any interest I can print these up via my ad
here (see post #23 for a laser holder I have already printed).
Thanks in advance and clear skies
