The EQ-3 mount is a very light aluminum tripod. For it is not very heavy there are major problems with its leg clamps. The plastic ist 1. very week 2.not UV proof. If you are doing a lot of daytime usage the plastic will break over time because of ultraviolet light.
We in our astronomy club "Astronomische Vereinigung Vorderpfalz e.V." in Ludwigshafen, (South-Western)Germany, Palatinate made our own replacement. On our german webpage http://avvp.de you can get further informations.

Notes:
Printed with ASA (brand filamentum). ASA-Material shrinks, so with the following settings I had to resize with 102% (Cura). The printer has a housing and the print bed is insulated!
When printing with PLA no further adjustment / resizing is needed.
Printed with CURA 3.2.1 and Octoprint.
