Sky-watcher virtuoso camera bracket

thingiverse

This bracket enables seamless installation of a Nikon P900 on the DOB Virtuoso by Sky-watcher, accommodating other cameras as well. Unfortunately, the initial bracket was too pliable and also insufficiently long for the P900. To address these issues, I printed the bracket with 25% full-honeycomb infill, utilizing 13 layers of top, bottom, and side printing at a layer height of 0.3mm, all achieved through fast printing settings. The result is a remarkably stiff bracket that now meets my requirements. The printing process itself took approximately eight hours to complete using Simplify3D. For mounting the camera, I chose to reuse the bolt from the original bracket. This design was created with DesignSpark Mechanical.
