Nikon DSLR adapter for Orion telescopes

thingiverse

I created a Nikon-to-Orion telescope adaptor inspired by the Perseid meteor shower. The latest version performs superbly, fitting over the eyepiece and boasting an extended shaft for better focus. This robust, stable design securely locks in place with a satisfying click. I've also included a Rhino file of the CAD model for those who need it. Improvements made in the most recent iteration include: 1) widening the barrel to press-fit over the telescope eyepiece; 2) extending the barrel for accurate focusing; 3) adding a cutout on the edge to help with adapter alignment; and 4) replacing the support material's chamfer. For printing, I recommend a layer height of 0.15 and ensuring the camera mount is printed facing upwards (refer to images).
