customizable telescope dew shield

Customizable telescope dew shield

The uploaded print profile is specific to the Sky-Watcher Skymax 127

In the customizer, you can choose:

• o: outer diameter of the telescope tube (it is advisable to increase it by at least the nozzle diameter to ensure it slides on easily and perhaps print only one test piece)
• h1: base height (the section that slides onto the telescope tube)
• h2: middle section (fuzzy skin can be applied internally to this section to reduce reflections)
• h3: end section which can be reduced to the diameter of the telescope tube using the innesto_tappo option (this is useful for inserting the cap when taking dark frames for astrophotography)
• thickness: normal or double (I used the normal one and have not had any problems so far)
• base reinforcement: this option allows adding a thicker ring to the base, which increases its robustness and facilitates the removal of the dew shield if it fits too snugly
