Summary
This is an adapter that allows you to add a 1 1/4" astronomy filter to a filter wheel designed for 2" filters, allowing a mix and match on a single filter wheel.
The threads of these filters are too fine to create with a 3D printer so I've taken the approach of using a spring arm type arrangement to grip the sides of the 1.25 inch filter and teh same to grip the walls of the 2 inch filter thread.
POLITE WARNING
I am using this and have put a lot of effort into getting the design right, however every printer is different so please check your printed version is suitable for your set-up and won't fall out in hot or cold weather - it's free so there is no warranty or come back if the filter drops out and breaks something! So use common sense!

Post-Printing
If the inner filter is a little tight use a sharp knife to trim a little off - do this in small steps until you have the desired effect - this step may not be needed depending on your printer.
How I Designed This
This has been an itterative design, print, test and redesign process, the published version is the result of going through this loop 8 times.
