This is a simple dew shield for the Seestar S50 Pro smart telescope. It uses 3 magnets (8mm diameter, 2mm thick) that help hold it in place. The print process has to be paused at the layer just before the holes for the magnet are covered, so you can insert the magnets, then resume the print.
Recommended print settings:
Filament: Any kind should be fine - I used PETG.
Color should be black (flat or matte is better)
Supports: Yes - on the build plate only.
Layers: I used 0.15mm
Pause print for magnet insertion (check/verify in your slicer to be sure):
If using 0.15mm layers, pause at layer 57
If using 0.20mm layers, pause at layer 44
Very Important! - Before inserting the magnets in the print, you must make sure they are correctly oriented so they are attracted to the telescope body.
Take 3 8mm magnets and place them on your S50 Pro (only one side will stick).
Mark the side facing out with a sharpie or scratched with something that will leave a mark.
When the print pauses for you to insert the magnets, make sure the marked side is up.
Notes:
There is room for improvement. I made this in a hurry so I could try it out the first clear night after getting the telescope.
Stronger magnets are better. Mine holds, but not very tight, and may be problematic in very strong winds (which would most likely also affect capturing image).
