This adapter plate lets you mount your KrakenRF Discovery Dish directly to your Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi  auto tracking mount/tripod.  

Because of the weight/torque  you should print with a very durable media.  I used PA6-CF as it's quite strong and heat resistant.  However, that's likely a little extreme. :) 

Use many walls and a higher then normal infill to keep the strength for the mounting screws.  I sliced with the following settings.

Wall Loops: 10
Top shell: 8
Bottom Shell: 5
Infill: 35%
Rectilinear infill
Infill/Wall Overlap: 25%

Hole sizes allow ¼-20 bolt/nuts to be used or similar metric size (M6 should also fit, may need washers)

The high number of loops was to make sure there was a very solid surface for the force of the screws.  

The mount holes appear weird because they are.   The bracket that came with my discovery dish had holes not perfectly spaced from each other for some reason.  They may all be stamped the same, but I'd do a test print of a few layers and check hole alignment before printing the whole thing.
