I created a plate and tall dovetail to move my Starsense phone mount to a different telescope.  The DX tripod is way too shaky.  This lets me use the app on any one of my scopes.

Since I didn't add a locking mechanism, I designed it to be a snug fit and depending upon your printer's tolerances, you may have to do a little sanding on the tabs.

02/27/25 - Added a second plate with a wide lip on the bottom.  The tabs are a little smaller, but the bottom lip allows you to use a rubber band or gasket to hold the phone mount without a locking pin.  

The holes will allow an M3 bolt to pass through easily or you can tap the plastic for an M4 bolt.
