GS100-mini Guiding Scope Modification Kit

Description
Used to convert the Touptek Astro GS100 guiding scope into a mini-version appearance. More concise.
The author is not a DIY expert, so please point out any errors or shortcomings.
This model requires no additional accessories, only the GS100 guiding scope itself.
This model only supports C or CS mount cameras. (If I'm not mistaken, thanks to its adjustable focus range of about 7.5mm, both C and CS cameras should be able to achieve infinity focus)
The external dimensions of this model are specifically designed for Touptek Astro GPM/G3M series cameras. However, thanks to the very similar external structure of similar cameras, it should also be compatible with ZWO or QHY mini guiding/planetary cameras.
What you need to do is:
Remove the GS100 lens group and install it into the maintube. The other parts are just a rotating lift mechanism, you'll likely know how to assemble them with just a glance.
The two clamp screws and mini-Vixen dovetail plate can directly reuse the factory configuration.
Important note: Remember to apply grease/lubricating oil to the threads. This makes disassembly easier when not needed and also prevents threads made of identical materials from seizing up.
It is recommended to buy a spanner wrench for tightening.
It's not recommended to use brute force to achieve miracles :-)
This model was printed with PETG Basic. Other materials may require adjusting the model dimensions yourself.
If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Welcome to make this model even more fun!
