Description

A friend of mine asked me to print a solution to guide/route his cables on a large Takahashi refractor.  He has a motorized flat panel on the front, power box in the middle, and imaging equipment in the rear, some of which are relatively high.   Using two ADM DPA-D dovetail mounts, I printed two supports with wire looms to hold and elevate a ¼" rod.  At the rear end, the cables go through a loop to the various equipment.

The loom attaches to the base via 2 - M3 screws.  Loom has M3 brass threaded inserts installed to receive the screws.

The rod is held in place by 2 - M3 screws in the loom passing through 2 brass threaded inserts

The cable guide loop is attached to the rod with one M3 screw passing through 1 brass threaded insert.

The ADMs are attached to the base/loom/rod assembly via 2 ¼" -20 allen socket head screws and washers.   2 brass threaded inserts are in the base to receive the screws.

Hardware:  

  -¼" rod, 

  -M3 screws with heated brass inserts, 

  -two  ¼" -20 allen socket head screws and washers.

  -two ¼" - 20 threaded brass threaded inserts

  -two ADM DPA-D dovetail mounts

Used red ASA filament, 8mm nozzle, Prusa Mk3s.

Hope you find it useful.
