Counting matching models…
Well, I bought a used OTA without really looking at the dovetail style until two days before I planned to use it. I couldn't find anything at a reasonable price, let alone anything that would arrive in time. So I decided to design an…
Print approx. €3.40–€4.15 excl. taxPreliminary estimate for one variant
This losmandy-style dovetail is intended to be mounted on top of a telescope for accessories like minipcs, dew heater controllers and power-distro. All threaded holes are M6x1 threading. This bar is intended ONLY for top mount use, do not…
The hole pattern is 4xM4 20 mm cross. Matches the hole pattern on the bottom of the ASIAIR. Instead of mounting the air straight to the mount, you can mount the saddle and shoe the ASIAIR comes with. You'll need one M4x20 screw and nut…
I created this Losmandy style camp, so I can attach whatever I like on my OTA. I found some others on the internet, that did not clamp enough or used imperial sizes. This is a remix clamping better for me and using regular nuts and bolts.…
This part is a remix of Erwin's Losmandy Clamp, slightly modified to provide a tighter fit for Celestron CGE dovetails. A printable knob is included to make mounting the clamp easier. The larger part in the print is unmodified, so if you…
This set of radius block allows you to attach a narrow dovetail bar (i.e. Vixen / CG-5) to the Losmandy attachment points on a Celestron C8. This is useful when you wish to (1) attach your C8 to your mount using a Vixen bar, AND (2)…
Losmandy rail clamp that is designed to mount a lightweight object, such as a mini pc to a Losmandy/"D" rail installed on a telescope. Unless the 4 M3 screws match up directly (30mm on center) with your piece of equipment/object, you will…
This is a 2" wide losmandy rail clamp that was designed to hold a lightweight object on the top rail mounted on a telescope. The round hole in the flat portion of the clamp is for a 1/4-20 screw that is counter-bore (.44" wide X .30"…
This tripod foot is meant to be an improvement over the Losmandy Tripod Foot, which does not stay attached to the tripod during transit. This new design fits into the open bottom of the leg extrusion, friction fit, so that it stays with…
Remix of a Losmandy clamp model from Onshape by Alex Douglas. I see a lot of variations of it floating around, not sure who the originator is. This model passed fit checks, clamps well, and worked flawlessly for its first night of use.…
These are two different designs that are meant to go over the standard knobs used on Losmandy telescope mounts (i.e. G11, G8, etc.) in order to help with comfort and leverage, particularly during loosening. Especially during the winter…
I introduce the Askar Universal Losmandy-Style Dovetail Full Plate Series. 200mm Completed 300mm Completed 400mm Completed 500mm (In Progress...if I can find a reliable diagram...) I have added a line of holes every 10mm on the dovetail…

Grip-nut CELESTRON CGX CGXL losmandy nut
I could have used bolts to achieve the same function but metal bolts would mar the finish of my telescope mount. So I designed a plastic brake to prevent the telescope from sliding off the mount if the mount clamps are not tight enough.…
A simple, clean nema-17 motor mount for the Losmandy GM8 telescopes. Included a pully cover. I've 3D Printed this model, and for the final version, I had them machined and powder coated at PCBWay. They came out great.+
This is a cradle of the Losmandy Gemini II hand controller for the Berlebach planet tripod.
UPDATE Over the past few days, I've been working on this design and made some changes. There are now stepper mounts for both RA and DEC, and a single belt cover design that fits both stepper mounts. In addition, on the inside of the…
I needed a Losmandy clamp for an 8" SCT Dovetail bar to hold an AISAIR plus and/or guide scope. Every model I found required an intermediary between two styles of clamps (perhaps I could've searched deeper, I have an unusual set-up, or I…
Adapter plate to attach a Morefine M6 MiniPC to this Losmandy/"D" rail clamp . Used together, this mounts on a Losmandy rail installed on a telescope. The 4 inset mounting holes are for M3 hex nuts and are 30mm on center. The 2 adapter…
I remixed the clamp and added holes for mounting Pegasus Astro gear. M3x16mm Screws, a M6 screw and a M6 nut needed. I printed it with the Prusa Mk2S and PLA.
30° Meridian Offset Wedge 3D Printable wedge designed to provide an additional 30 degrees of offset to allow imaging across the meridian line in RA mode without meridian flip. This was originally developed in response to discovering that…
This is a mounting plate for the GMKtec NucBox5 mini PC. The mini PC has two M2 screw holes on the bottom, which I use to attach the plate. The plate itself provides two positions for M4 hexagon nuts, allowing it to be mounted with the…
There are 2 models, each with 6.5 mm holes, one with a 1 inch separation and another with a 1.5 inch separation and a bit more height to handle 2 cables and 3 cables respectively held down on a Losmandy Universal Dovetail Plate.
This is a cover of DEC transmission axes for the Losmandy G11T equatorial mount after changing the transmission method via pulley. Losmandy mounts are all well designed for easy service & maintenance. The original design between worm gear…
Printed with supports. The holes on the plate side have the dimension (6.4mm) to insert ruthex 450xM5S threads for M5 screws. The holes on the Mele side are 3.5mm for M3 screws.
Remixed to fit on 256mm bed size.

Low profile Losmandy Dovetail for Meade 8 inch SCT. Preferably CNC machined from aluminum. You can modify (shorten) the length of the dovetail by changing the value of the parameter E in Autodesk Fusion (by opening the .f3d file in…
Snug fit printed flat on a Prusa Mini on 0.2mm speed profile PETG - 100% infill. Print time around 70-80mins. The fit is quite tight and the print scale might be able to be scaled up by 2% to make it a little looser. This was created at…
