Hi Alex,
Thank you for reminding me of this project, I almost forgot about it
Yours is very interesting idea, I will think about it.. it may be doable to integrate diffraction masks into lid as frame, with motor to flip "mask / no-mask".
As to scope cap, I was thinking about larger one to cover this contraption.. but my 3D printer is a bit small for this (175x175mm), so something big like that must be printed in segments and assembled (glued) later.. and this may compromise the accuracy a bit... probably not enough to preventing it working as lid anyway.
Flats I usually take on the sky before sunset.. so flat panel is lower priority for me at the moment :-)
Anyway.. I started printing it right now.. when finished, and if it fits OK, I will put stl files here.
