Device for mounting a sun shade on a Lunt LS60THa telescope. Works well with a 2'x3' 1/4" foam core signboard, presumably works just as well with others. Design does not technically require gluing together, but recommend doing so anyway.
If using stock Lunt ring, the two bolts for holding the ring together will need to be replaced with at least an M5x55 (M5x60 peeks out the bottom of the holes and is also adequate). With 1/4" board, the retainer-body connection requires M4x30 (M3x35 shown with washers in pictures).
Complete prints required: Body 1, Body 2, Body 3, Retainer (3), Guide 1, Guide 2.
Recommended additional hardware:
-1/4" foam core board of chosen size
-(3) M4x30 bolts, M4 washers, and M4 nuts
-(2) M5x60 bolts
Design is resin optimized, can be printed laying flat or standing on sloped edge. Pictured print had issues with adhering to the plate, is an issue with my resin at the moment and likely not the design's fault.
Possible design modifications: add a hole in the center body piece for a solar guide/sol-searcher/etc.
