Cable Router and Aperture Mask for RASA8 and C8/Hyperstar

thingiverse

I was never happy with the stars I got from the commonly used semicircular cable router so I designed this to serve as a slight aperture mask (198mm) and straight vanes to route the cables which give stars a typical newtonian diffraction pattern. After printing use a few wraps of tape around the circumference to make a snug fit. The mask should engage the pins on the inner ring of the aperture. Insert the mask and rotate clockwise approximately 5 degrees. There are two options for the RASA, 3mm and 6mm wide cable channels. There is a 3mm channel width option for C8 hyperstar. I've included an image to show what the stars look like with this mask.
