I designed this telrad base to integrate directly with the PiFinder. I originally printed a flat base with only the four screw holes in it but then realized I needed holes where the socket head screws held the PiFinder together. A couple of mistakes later and I needed to reprint the base. I decided to just print it with all the holes the original base had. This allows me to eliminate the original base and will cut down on the weight that might need to be counterbalanced. I only needed a left hand version but as long as I was in Fusion 360 I went ahead and mirrored it for a right-hand version. The Fusion 360 file is available for further modifications.
Yes, I realize I have a regular finder base that I could have used. I haven't used it in over 20 years and forgot it was there while building my PiFinder.
