Informations

The original primary mirror pads are not good. They are not fixed and can easily move and even fall, which means that you end up with a mirror incorrectly supported on its triangles. Additionally, they are half soft, which is not optimal.

To avoid this, the pads must be changed and allowed to remain in their place.

For this, I printed a small pattern of the triangle with 3 small inserts allowing me to place hexagons of approximately size M8.I used nylon hex screw heads as pads replacements (see example in picture)

Materials needed for assembly :

• Superglue / cyanoacrylate or similar
• ~M8 hexagonal heads
