Illuminated Polarscope for Arca-Swiss

Illuminated polarscope with arca-swiss

I use this polarscope for my small Keen-One-EQ mount, which does not have a polarscope itself and the tripod with polar wedge has an Arca-Swiss clamp. Before the mount is put on the tripod, I first mount this polarscope and north-align it. Then the rest will be built.
This model offers a very compact housing for the Polarscope and has a battery compartment with a switch for the Polarscope lighting at the bottom of the Arca-Swiss connection.

Print settings:

• No supports needed.
• Layer height for housing: 0.15mm, 4 perimeter, 30% cubic infill
• Layer height for rear dust cap: 0.1mm (very fine thread)
