I haven't printed it, but was interested in it to see if I could adapt it for my Borg 76mm. Sadly it's in SolidWorks and I use Fusion, but it might import.

and a load here

Hi Sathya and Rob. That's my crayford focuser linked up there. You can also get the STL's over at thingyverse if you want.

I plan on doing a 1.25in version as i've had a few requests now. Also someone had done a remake with a motor, linked in thingiverse and a 1.25in version.

cheers, marco.
