Hi!

I was dissatisfied with the mounting of a Pegasus focuscube to my Altair Astro 200mm F5 scope as due to the curved profile, it was impossible to mount square , so have modelled an adapter to allow fixing of the autofocuser to a flat surface without needing to use any holes on the focuser.

Works with the focus cube, but I would imagine would also fit an EAF. I have also included 2 threaded insert holes on the top for mounting some cable management I'm yet to design.

I printed with 65% infill with PETG as I wanted it to be reasonably sturdy, but this is probably overkill

 

Additional materials:

  • 12 x M4 Heat-set threaded inserts
  • 4 x 30mm Countersunk M4 Bolts
  • 4 x 20mm Countersunk M4 Bolts
  • 4 x 16mm Countersunk M4 Bolts

I hope this helps someone else out there!
