Light Shroud - Hadley Neumo

This model consists of two parts: light shrouds and connector rings. 

The connector rings connects the telescope bodies with the light shroud and seals the connection to prevent any light leaks.

The light shrouds can be installed with very minimal disassembly of the telescope.

Sizing:

Since the distances between your telescope bodies is probably different than mine, I've included multiple different shroud lengths for you to pick from. You can even scale the closest shroud in your slicer to get a custom size. Complete your build to find the correct distance between each of your telescope bodies then pick the shroud lengths that will fill in the distance. Make sure to account for the height of the connector pieces (3 mm for each seam).

Notes:

This shroud is currently incompatible with the Hadley Neumo accessory clamps. If you plan to fully enclsoe your telescope, you'll need to use a different sighting solution.

Installation:

Once you've printed the shrouds and connectors, you're ready to install them. For this example I will be installing a shroud between the lower tube assemble (LTA) and center tube assembly (CTA).

Install a connector ring on the opening of the LTA.

Squish a shroud until it slides between the telescope tubes, then rotate it until the pads of the shroud click into place on the telescope tubes.

Slide the shroud down until it mates with the ring installed on the LTA. Continue to add rings and shrouds until you near the CTA body.

Loosen the six screws holding the CTA in place and slide the body up on the tubes. Install rings and shrouds until you reach where the bottom of the CTA was.

Install one extra ring then slide the CTA body down until it mates with the ring. Don't forget to re-tighten the mounting screws on the CTA.

At this point the CTA should be back in its original position and the entire bottom half of the telescope should be enclosed. If you look down the top of the telescope and shine a light on each seam you should not be able to see any light leaking through.
