thingiverse

This is a versatile adapter that enables seamless integration of your phone with a telescope. To attach your phone, simply place it in position and push the sliders upwards until they reach the phone, then secure them tightly. Four adjustable side sliders allow for precise alignment, with five possible settings available depending on the placement of your phone's buttons. This innovative design makes it easy to use all five sliders simultaneously. The adapter is compatible with eyepiece barrels up to 2 inches in diameter but may only work effectively with 1 1/4 inch eye pieces. A 2-inch eyepiece version is currently in development. To ensure a secure connection, the clamp is adjustable to a height of 40mm, allowing for optimal distance between your phone and the eyepiece glass. The adapter includes several key components: * Base plate * Clamp * Four side slide guides * Bottom guide (or round guide, depending on whether you're using headphones or a USB connection) * Screw knob * Five slide guide knobs Additionally, the following extra items are required for assembly: * M6 x 70mm bolt * Two M6 nuts * Six spring washers, each 6mm in diameter * Five M3 x 30mm bolts * Five M3 nuts * Four non-slip rubber pads to grip the eyepiece securely
