Mak autofocuser WIP

[bottletopburly]

Finally got round to fitting an autofocuser to my 127mm Mak  wip at moment awaiting a spacer from lasermaster to fit on focus tube adapter as thickness of plate needs  accounting for  as screw on adapter is not hitting threaded screw focus tube which spacer will account for all seems to work well hopefully next week I can test if we get a clear spell .

Nice work. The back plate blends in nicely with the rear of the Mak. Btw did you get the gears and timing belt from our local company HPC Gears?

I used HPC gears extensively when designing automated assembly machines a few years back. I have built three autofocusers and used Robert Brown's myFocuserPro2 designs.
