Description
This model is a 210 mm Vixen-style dovetail plate designed for telescope mounts that use the Vixen standard clamp.
It can be used to mount optical tubes, telescope rings, cameras, guide scopes, or custom astronomy accessories.
The plate includes two long mounting slots which allow flexible positioning of bolts and accessories. This makes it suitable for many DIY telescope configurations.
The geometry follows the typical Vixen dovetail profile, making it compatible with many astronomy mounts.
This model is ideal for 3D printing telescope accessories, DIY astronomy equipment, or custom mount adapters.
Recommended settings:
PLA can work for lightweight equipment, but stronger materials are recommended for outdoor use and better durability.
3D printed parts are not as strong as machined metal parts.
Always ensure the dovetail is securely clamped before attaching expensive equipment.
Use at your own risk.
