I've created this thing to substitute the horizontal movement gear of my Meade DS-2114 AT-TC telescope.
Only the locking black part broke, but it uses a really thin thread, so I decided to create a part that would substitute the gear and all the related parts.
The part was created on FreeCAD and the original file is here as well, if someone needs it to adapt to a different telescope.
The Gear part itself was adjusted on OpenSCAD, remixed from this thing: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1516585
I had to use supports to print it, and decided to use Autodesk Meshmixer to create them. The stl file with supports is here, too.
I've Printed it with PLA, with 40% infill, and it got really sturdy.
If you print it, please post a picture.
If you remix it, or create a new thing from my FreeCAD file, please mention my work.
