Cloth shroud anchor for 203 Leavitt

prusaprinters

<p>On the <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/299531-8-newtonian-telescope-leavitt">203 Leavitt telescope</a>, clip three of these onto the ½" rods in several places to form rings. Then use small button-head or socket-head screws (m3 x 5mm or #4 x 1/4") to attach black cloth to fully enclose the telescope. You can use extra rings of these anchors to hold the cloth out of the path of light if necessary--I did this in the top half of my scope.</p><p>If you use stretchable cloth (I used Spandex), you can still slide the resulting rings up and down the tube as necessary for balance or focal length.</p><p>Printing these is pretty forgiving, but you probably want some extra perimeters for strength or the clip-on parts may break easily. I used PLA with a 0.6mm nozzle at 0.3mm layer height, with 3 perimeters. No supports necessary.</p>
