We're busy printing and assembling a Hadley telescope (thanks to Neumo's excellent post https://www.printables.com/model/418728-hadley-neumo-telescope) . After reading about the frailty of the mirror coating I was petrified I'd drop a screw, spanner or wine onto the sensitive surface).
I researched other mirror covers (one of which Neumo posted https://www.printables.com/model/603602-magnetic-parts-hadley-neumo which would required reprinting the lower end to incorporate magnets) so I decided to design and print our own.
A simple one part cover that latches onto the three tubes and fits quite snugly twisting on and off.
PLA works well. Printed with 0.12mm layer thickness. No other complications. The step file is provided to allow changes.
