Description
Meade 3.25"-16 threaded dust caps, male and female, for large Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes (SCT).
These threaded dust caps are useful for astronomy telescopes and adapters. This thread size is used on large Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes (SCT) sized 12" or larger. The thread size is 3.25"-16tpi which is very similar to the Celestron 3.29"-16tpi threads for their large SCTs. They are very similar threads and are sometimes interchangeable.
I print these dust caps out of PLA+ and have found that the threads print nicer in PLA+ vs PETG and that sometimes the threads are so fine that they don't fit as well with PETG. YMMV. Try enlarging/reducing the X/Y axes by 0.5% if they are too loose or tight.
I'm uploading many sizes that I've used on my various telescopes and cameras.
