6 inch newtonian Telescope - smaller beams

see original thing and my make https://www.thingiverse.com/make:846838

I let the profiles have a little more play (20.2 mm x 10.2 mm). The beams slide quite nicely.

i already thought about a way of mounting this not on a tripod but on  a table stand. Tripod was pretty unstable (at least mine was).

Parts list

at least so far

• parts from files (some remixed -> see remix for those)
• 5 construction profiles 20x10, black - 800 mm (730 mm seems to be enough) source https://www.myaluprofil.de
• mirror set by aliexpress (d150 f750)
• 24 sliding blocks m5
• 24 pan head screws m5x10
• 4 hex bolts m7x40
• 4 nuts m7
• 4 hex bolts m5x16
• 4 cap nuts m5
• 3 allen screws m4x30
• 3 nuts m4
• 1 knurled screw m5x20
• 1 small nut m5
• washers accordingly (bought them by the 100s)
• 4 springs 10x16x0.7
• 3 springs 7x20x0.5
• for glueing the mirrors i used uhu turbo fix² liquid (2 compound glue)
• 4 self printed m7 nuts to keep the m7 bolts in place
• 3 m7 washers (see remix for file)

I think i got everything. I bought bolts, washers and nuts on ebay, because i tried to get black ones.
In order to keep the m7 bolts in place i printed some small m7nuts (see remix). To put them on the bolts i heated them briefly, then turned the screw on.
The glue does its job very well. Applying the glue was difficult. One had to apply much pressure onto the syringe style tube.
The cross section of the beams is half as much as originally intended (and i attached them in a bad way for the second area moment too). Handling the complete setup though gave me the impression it is strong enough.

While looking at the pictures i get the impression the crossection of the construction profiles look rather startled
