I moved this out of Hadley Telescope Mods to prevent it to become to big and confusing because of many different topics.
I really love the daveley mount but I had issues with the original ALTITUDE_AXLE_SIDE_1.STL part. I couldn't connect it to the original ALTITUDE_AXLE_CENTER.STL in a way that it didn't move when the telescope was mounted, even when it fits without any play in the bearing. To solve that, I created a two part solution for the altitude axle.
Most important change is the longer part on the mounting side. The longer part on the damper side is for cosmetic reasons. I didn't try that, but in theory the altitude-axle-damper-side.stl can be cut at ca. 30mm length. The longer mounting side part creates a long lever from the bearing (fulcrum) to the connection to the damper side part. So any play on the connection or in the damper side bearing has minimal effect on the mount due to the ratio of the lever.
Printed with PETG, 0.4 nozzle, 0.20 mm SPEED profile on a MK4S. Changed perimeters and solid layers to 5.
Please Note: The altitude-axle-mounting-side.stl is hollow. So changing infill won't have that much effect on filament consumption.
