Description
A secure, threaded container for storing and protecting Smallest telescope 's removable secondary mirror assembly. This model is designed to hold the mirror glued to its support. The container features a custom-shaped recess that perfectly cradles the support and an option to add a glued-in metal washer for magnetic attachment, preventing the delicate mirror from contacting the plastic walls. The attached FreeCAD source file ( .FCStd ) allows full customization. Using the parameters in the variable set (VarSet), you can adjust the container's dimensions to fit your specific mirror size, as well as fine-tune the thread tolerance for a perfect fit. Recommended Print Settings: Nozzle: 0.6 mm Layer Height: 0.18 mm (recommended for precise threads) Wall Generator: Arachne Material: PETG Mode: Precise Z-height Important Notes: The provided .STL files are preset for a 32mm secondary mirror . For any other size, adjusting the parameters in the included FreeCAD file is necessary. The photo shows a sample printed with the settings listed above. For a magnetic hold, glue a steel washer into the designated slot on the container's base.
