4, 3D printing of lens bracket:3D printing of second bracket:Now when I 3D-print this second bracket, the bracket that hold the Tokina 200 mm lens I hope it will fit well enough to be used directly. I just had to decrease the inner diameter of the QHY5 bracket and delete the rectangular block. Testing the nut pocket:![]() After I had increased the size of the M4 hexagon pocket by 0.2 mm it fit the nut, with a screw with the nut I press it into its position. ![]() With help of the pliers I get force enough to get it in place. Note: it's important that you clean all edges with a knife before installing the nut. ![]() View from other side, strange, where did the pocket go for the screw head ? ![]() The same procedure for the main bolt at bottom, M6. Measure the needed pocket size:![]() When setting the hexagon pocket size it's the diameter of it you set. With my 3D-printer I have to increase the diameter, I add 0.2 mm (for M4 and M6 size nuts) compare to what I measure it to be. Mounting the bracket to the lens:![]() I have to bend the slits apart to get the bracket over the edge of the lens, I have to use some force, but the plastic didn't break apart. ![]() It's easier if you insert something in the slit, less risk to destroy the lens. Assembling the 300 mm setup together:![]() Now I can assembling my 300 mm system together. The 300 mm lens bracket, focus motor bracket, guide camera and lens bracket and the USB-Hub holder. ![]() It give a very clean and compact look now. I can have short 25 cm USB cables to most of the equipment. ![]() The middle bracket that hold the motor focuser is still an early prototype. I have to increase the strength of it. But it's good enough to do a first outdoor test. |
