This is a first attempt at making a travel cover for the telescope so that the adjustment screws are protected.

Update: Parts print and fit well
This is a first attempt at making a cover for the Travel Telescope 114mm (Updated version). This relies on the primary and secondary mirror holders stacking, and then slides over them. The mirrors and adjustment screws should be protected unlike the default covers.
The default covers are great for covering the mirror when its set up, but less awesome for a compact travel arrangement. I'm hoping this is now backpackable.
Not included but required is a ~5mm bungee cord. Tie a stopped knot and feed the rope through the primary mirror cover and wrap it over the top (though the guidance notches in the secondary mirror cover) and then tie a 2nd stopper knot and hook that back on the primary mirror cover. I think its less complicated then it sounds.
Printing suggestions:
I printed in PETG at the fastest structural setting for my nozzle. No support material should be required.
