3D printed on the QIDI X-Plus in red PETG with 3D printed ConeScope in place. Original setup was Orion 50mm guide scope that had to attach to a dovetail plate then the scope. Has issues with threading sizes, bolt hole locations etc etc. Custom 3D printed rings where then made for a new guide scope. Eventually designed a ConeScope guide scope and made custom bracket. No issue with flexure evident in PHD2 guide graph when imaging the GT71 at 336mm FL.
CAD files. The bracket would have been difficult and expensive to fabricate pre 3D printing using a CNC.
Old setup pre 2026 with a variety of guide scope configurations.
Borg55FL guide scope adapter
Using the same design, A PETG bracket was 3D printed to replace an Orion 50mm guide scope for a Borg55FL and its corresponding clunky mounting adapter.
