2"-24 dual-sided threaded dust cap, male/female, for astronomy.

These threaded dust caps are useful for astronomy telescopes and adapters. This thread size is used on smaller Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes (SCT) in the 5" - 10" sizes. It is used on the regular Celestron 9.25" SCTs, but not the EdgeHD 9.25" models.

I print these dust caps out of PLA+ and have found that the threads print nicer in PLA+ vs PETG and that sometimes the threads are so fine that they don't fit as well with PETG. YMMV. Try enlarging/reducing the X/Y axes by 0.5% if they are too loose or tight.

This dust cap is a dual-sided version with both a male and female side.  I had to use supports, so the female side has a rough surface.

I'm uploading many sizes that I've used on my various telescopes and cameras.
