Dual and Triple Widefield NB Imaging Rigs with Remote Rotatable Cameras.

I love it when a plan comes together 🙂

This shows the size of the camera mounting plates compared with the bed size of my 3D printer.  This is the front plate which takes the camera rotation stepper motor.

This is one of the camera rotation gears on a camera.

More parts added to the assembly model.  The focus systems are missing the little stepper motors with pinions as can be seen in the photo.

Getting severe warping even with PLA so until I solve this problem I am abandoning the triple imaging rig design and going for a different design of dual imaging rig.  With so much difference I think I'll start a new thread.

Wow this is some waring. Always an issue though on big areas.

As you only intend to use 2 cameras for now maybe the best approach to start with a dual image setup and lessons learned can then go towards the re-design of the triple imaging rig.

Please put a link on the end of this thread to the new one so I see it 🙂  

Although with the amount of people looking into getting the new ASI2600MM camera there may be a glut of very reasonable priced 1600's appear on the forum 🙂 so the triple setup may not be that far away.

There you go Steve.  Thanks for your interest.  And I'm doing just as you suggest. 😀
