Description

Original plan was to use on my Hadley telescope to replace model 423704 but has wider application than just that telescope.  We are using it on a 16-inch alt-az and a C14 as well

The green laser pointer is available on Amazon for about US$15 (2024)  The print is simple, no supports needed.  I used PETG but PLA should work as well.  I used 0.20 layer heights.  #10-24 screws are used and the holes are threaded for such.  The plunger springs are 0.7x7x10 mm compression springs.  The knobs are press-fit onto #10 nuts (I jammed the nuts against the screw heads).
