I own a National Geographic 114mm aperture and 500mm focal length reflector telescope, but the tripod that it came with had limitations. See my full review here: • National Geographic Ca... . I looked for a dobsonian mount replacement and couldn't find one. So, I designed and printed my own.
For details on printing the parts go here: www.thingivers...
Hardware (All M3):
1x 16mm
1x 25mm
5x 30mm
6x nuts
2x wingnuts/thumb screws
(If you need M3's here's a great assortment: amzn.to/3nyBmqk and thumbscrews: amzn.to/2GKPRX4)
Other items:
3-4 rubber feet/pads for the base bottom (should not flex and should be non-slip like these: amzn.to/3mZd7ji or similar cabinet bumpers at your hardware store)
4 felt feet (3/4" or 20mm) for the wheel bearings to ride on. Teflon/PTFE pads also work if you have them.
Small pieces or felt or rubber to stick under the clamp to protect the telescope body
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NT114CF 114MM CARBON FIBER REFLECTOR TELESCOPE: amzn.to/36KHc1Q
The telescope can be purchased at Sam's Club for ~$60 or less when it is available: www.samsclub.c.... It can also be found other places and prices fluctuate.
