Description
My tuning set for the genius design of Heavy Duty Planetary Astro Tracker Gen 2.
Remix from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4889007
With these parts it runs very very very smooth and what you need is:
24 bearings 688 2RS 8x16x5 mm
I printed the gears with Extrudr GreenTec Pro Carbon, all other parts with Princore Carbon PETG, all parts are printed with a 0,4mm nozzle.
For the maximum stability, i printed with 100% infill.
You must calibrate your printer very well, then you get a really smooth Startracker with minimum play in the gearbox on RA and 0 play on the Axis.
The last Picture is my first shot on this tracking mount, i taken 15x 120s frames. The heavy load was a Canon EOS 700Da, IDAS LPS-D1 ClipFilter and a Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 by 18mm f/2.8 ISO/1600. All frames are good, no startrails. I`m very happy :)
Happy printing!
