Cool, yes it is a real pain having to redo the star alignment. Its that or a wonky neck/back.
I have ordered the bearings, I ordered more than needed and that only came to $22.
When I make one for my 6" I'll scrap materials but will estimate the cost for a larger scope.
Also thinking for larger scopes more bearings would be a good idea.
The place I get them from are 3.90 for 10x of the smaller ones and $9.90 for 10x of the larger ones.. They are dirt cheap but should do the job.
In my mind im onto revision 3 or so as the basic shape stays but im working out ways to make things cheaper and easier for example bolts all the way through instead of using T nuts.
I'll keep everyone posted.
Any feedback/ideas is welcome.
Could people please post measurements of their tubes, circumference is ideal and pictures of their factory supplied rings both the top and bottom of them. Ohh also length and width of your dovetails
I have a 6" and a 12" so specs of a 10" and 8" would be great, perhaps even a 4" and a 130mm
