This is a small adapter plate to convert a cheap logitech C270 webcam to a polarscope for Skywatcher HEQ5/EQM35.
This allows you to remove the faceplate and 3 screws, put a piece of electrical tape over the green LED and slide it directly onto a skywatcher mount. I know it works with the eqm35 and HEQ5, havent tried any other ones. If the OD of the polar scope is approx 30mm it will slide right on. I know some other brands have smaller polar scope tubes so I have added a small 3mm hole that can be tapped for an m3 bolt as a keeper.
20 Dollar Polar scope camera is hard to beat. You will want to remove the bracket off the back of the webcam, there is a single screw in the hinge then just use a punch to slide the plastic pin out.
PLA works fine to print, just standard print settings, no supports. .4 nozzle and .2 layer height. Should be able to run one off in about an hour.
