iOptron Tri-Pier Accessory Rail and Friends

thingiverse

This project began as a means to create a convenient handheld box for my CEM60, designed for effortless use in dark environments with one hand. The wrist strap proved frustrating and merely a token attempt at enhancing an otherwise outstanding mount. I also sought a solution to elevate my 12v PSU off the ground, which led me to reposition my USB hub on the pier as well. All attachments are secured to the cleat using M4 socket head screws. The cleat is flush against the column, minimizing movement and preventing accessories from wobbling excessively. To securely hang heavy or bulky items from the rail, you'll need to print six segments of the rail. Accessories spanning multiple segments feature two rows of screws for added stability. Additional hardware required includes: M4 socket head screws (for securing accessories onto cleats) M5 socket or button head screws M5 nuts 6mm roll pins The slotted rail is held in place on the pier by M5 screws, while weight is managed by 6mm roll pins lodged in detent holes within the pier column.
