Auto Guide Cam Case (AR0130 Sensor)

Human: Custom Guide Case Design for AR0130 Sensor - B&W Version This design builds upon the original concept by masutokw, which works well for most users. However, I had to make some adjustments to suit my specific needs. Since I only had access to .stl files, I modeled this case from scratch. As a result, the dimensions may vary in several areas compared to the original design. The main differences are as follows: * No additional hardware is required beyond the 3 M3 bolts needed for securing the front cap. * Pillars and standoffs have been added to ensure the sensor sits securely without screws. * A step has been incorporated into the 1.25" tube to increase standoff distance, accommodating thumb screws on my guide scope. * The wiring opening was shifted to align with the plug on my sensor. * The width of the tube was increased to 1.24" for a more secure fit. Moreover, I modified the shape of the sensor opening and tightened tolerances so that it centers the sensor precisely. **Important Build Information** To ensure the sensor's secure positioning within the case, I applied double-sided foam tape on its four corners. This allows the sensor to sit firmly in place when the case is closed. **STEP and .f3d Files Included** If you prefer not to use foam tape, you can increase the height of the pillars on the back case to hold the sensor securely in place. **Aside: PHD2 Recognition with Astroberry Server** If anyone has successfully configured their AR0130 sensor for guiding using PHD2 on an astroberry server, please share your experience. I've managed to guide perfectly with my laptop but need help setting up a wireless configuration through a raspberry pi.
