An edit of c3n's azimuth bearing that is more in line with the visual language of the sturdy mount.

The assembly process is very similar. However, to join the Upper Bearing pieces   I used 3 heat set inserts in the female side in place of nuts. This brings the bill of materials from c3n's post to:

- Bowden Tube (4mm OD, roughly ~390 mm give or take)
- (12) M4x10 machine screws (I opted to use longer screws to attach the bearing to the feet of the telescope)
- (9) M4 heat set inserts
- (3) M4 nuts

Optional:
- (3) M4x12 machine screws in place of (3) M4x10 screws
- (6) M4 washers for a more robust connection at the feet
