Advice on 3D printed part

[Starflyer]

Hello knowledgable DIY folks,

I have an external iOptron iPolar that I use with my CEM60 and NEQ6, I also have a Skywatcher Star Adventurer and I'd like to be able to use it on that too.

There's no official adapter made for the Star Adventurer however I found one on Thingiverse that someone has created.  I know next to nothing about 3D printing, can someone please recommend a company to print this for me, the material to be used and anything else I should mention when requesting it?

Cheers,

Ian

Ahh, I was looking for a test piece, so I'm printing one now, if it comes out ok, I'll send it to you.....

It seems your in luck, they printed ok....

  

 

I make no guarantees as to the sizing accuracy of the Thingiverse part, now I just need the address of where to send it  (contact me directly not on the open forum)

What a great place SGL is, that's very generous of you, I owe you a beer if we ever meet up at SGL / Kielder / Galloway etc.

I'll drop you a pm with my address details.

Sorry I missed this guy's. I was made redundant on Thursday and obviously my head is all over the place at the moment. 

Apologies again
