Hi,
I got a Smallrig Selection tripod, which already seemed sturdy enough for using with the OG star tracker.
But I was worried, that the default ¼" stationary part wouldn't be enough, because had problems with the 3d printed threads getting ripped apart (and I don't want my telescope to fall onto the ground…). Also the mounting surface just seemed to small, what introduced a lot of wobbling.
That's why I tried making the contact surface bigger, and replace the 3d printed threads with metal.
I also made a new camera holder, that replaces the original one, because mine supports 3/8", so it allows using the ball head of the tripod.
Metal parts you need:
- 4x 12mm M3 hexagonal socket screws
- 1x 8mm M3 hexagonal socket screw
- 5x 4-6mm long M3 threaded inserts about
- 1x M5 hex bolt nut
- 1x 15-30mm 3/8" screw
- 1x 7-17mm 3/8" screw
Yeah, I used a M5 hex bolt nut, I just trust it the most for that job, I already managed to rip out some threaded inserts.
One of the 3/8" screws is being used for connectiont to the tripod, the other for the ball head. I bought the the 3/8" screws as a set of two (was just cheaper), cut one shorter, but probably you don't have the gear for that.
If you can't get one length of the 3/8" screw that fits for both or two different lengths for both applications for the 3/8" screw, just write a comment. I could design a new big pulley, which supports also longer 3/8" screws than those 17mm, if there's demand for that.
I think it should be also possible to replace the 4x 12mm M3 or that one 8mm M3 screw with one type, I only used different ones, because I had them lying around and didn't know, which are being used in the current version. Just write a comment, I could easily adapt it, so that you only need one length of those screws.
I hope printing and assembly is self explaining with the photos.
Feedback is appreciated.
Have fun!
PS: Idk how to name that one small part else
