50mm_Guide_Scope_Focuser

thingiverse

Hi, I used the FCGear Addon for Freecad and Freecad 0.17 to design this 50mm guidescope Focuser. The goal is to use Rpi Camera module with a 1.25" adapter or a 1.25" eyepiece or camera attached to it. I will attempt to create a star guiding system by assembling the focuser with a 50mm refractor telescope. If you have a different tube diameter, simply design a new "Tube Adapter". Gcode files are available for the Creality Ender 3 Printer. You can slice stl files using Cura for your own printer. I haven't tried printing it yet. I will post an update if it turns out okay. The Freecad Project file is available in the download section, so you can customize or modify it to suit your equipment needs. Updated on 26/04/2019: Tube and Tube Adapter prints have been successful; the Gear_Tool diameter has been increased to 10mm (previously 4mm) due to its weakness; Cap and Gear_Box have been updated to match the new Gear_Tool dimensions. I continue printing other parts. Note: The Gear_Tool must be printed with high Filling (80% for better strength).
