Finder Adapter with 6mm Bore for 1/4 inch cam screw (Astro-Hopper)

Hi,

I wanted to mount a smart phone onto the finder scope adapter. I use this to use Astro Hopper.

You can also remix this thingy (needs velcro), which I like also very much: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6060622 . Probably I do this and add a flat surface.

• Program: https://artyom-beilis.github.io/astrohopper.html
• Also see this adapter: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6052282

This uses:

• a 1/4 inch phone screw (long)
• a microphone rod (15mm diameter, pretty standard tool you'll get in any online store)
• a simple, cheap flexible handy holder with 1/4 inch mount
• the little 3D printed adapter

3D Print:settings

• use 100% infill
• use a good, strong (!) PLA (Polymax PLA)
• print with the upper part (smaller face) DOWN, so you need no supports
• needs only 30 minutes (0,3 draft)

Cheers, Axel
