Astrophotography Camera Mount

thingiverse

The camera mount, a marvel of engineering, employs stacked planetary gears to achieve a remarkable 10,000:1 reduction ratio, ideal for capturing stunning astrophotography images. The camera mount consists of six distinct stages, each designed to provide precise control over the camera's movement. To construct this masterpiece, you will need to print a total of 24 unique parts, carefully selected from the following list: * Four carrier_5_to_1.stl components * Four planets_5-to-1.stl parts * Three ring_5-to-1.stl pieces * One ring_5-to-1_wings.stl component * Three sun_5-to-1_carriershaft.stl items * One sun_5-to-1_motorshaft.stl piece * Two carrier_4_to_1.stl components * One carrier_4-to-1_cameramount.stl part * Two planets_4-to-1.stl pieces * Two ring_4-to-1.stl items * Two sun_4-to-1_carriershaft.stl parts * Five retainer.stl components * One retainer_motor_mount.stl piece * One retainer_final.stl component * One tripod_mount.stl item To assemble this incredible camera mount, please refer to the detailed instructions provided on the project's Hackaday.io page.
