Notes
*in my opinion a metal focuser is more rigid and better overall. This print is good as an affordable option and if you want to build your own scope. Its not optimised for weigh or size but for relative stiffness and grip on the draw tube.
The draw tube was printed with 100% infill to get maximum rigidity but 25% is good to test fit with a partial print.
Taps used to finished the holes and get a good fit (M6 and M4).
You can use washer to get a tighter fit vertically.
Made with PETG and PLA to test. Its good to test the distance of this tube spacer to get proper focal plane distance right.
