MagneTicFocuser [MTF] without electronics
This is a second variant of the original [MTF]:
https://www.printables.com/de/model/251874-magneticfocuser-mtf
I designed them to run this system on an OnStep controller. OnStep offers the possibility to connect a focuser, which is basically just a stepper motor. So the electronics have been removed, and a GX12 connector is enough to use it.
This [MTF] also requires very little power due to the high reduction (27:1) of the geared motor
