Meade ETX-80 screw on dew shield

thingiverse

Here are 2 different designs for a dew shield that screws onto the Meade ETX-80 telescope. New Meade scopes come with a nice screw on dew shield. I had an older ETX-80 and liked this design. Alas good look ever finding one for sale. So I made my own! My first design was flat on the bottom and this required supports around the threads. The come off pretty easy though. This is the one you see on my scope. I then updated the design with a bevel and you do not need supports. Print with walls set to 8 to keep the threads strong as there will be no infill in the thread area.
