Description

This is my method for attaching my nema 17 motors to a dobsonian telescope. The Az is universal, the alt bearings are specific to a Bintel / Zhumell dob.  The second alt bearing is for a 8" Saxon / Skywatcher dob.  The Fusion files are included and you can edit the parameters for your scope (I've tested the Bintel on a 8" and 12" and the Saxon/skywatcher on a 8" and 10" successfully)

I printed the Saxon bracket with the gears at the top. Gives a neater finish, but uses a fair amount of support, so I recommend perhaps using custom supports in your slicer of choice. If you do print in different orientations, make sure you erase supports around the gears!

Filament: PLA+

Layer height: 0.3mm

Infill: 15% - 20%

Wall line count: 3 (1.2mm total)
