3D printed Dec cover for Eq8 Pro.

[Nigella Bryant]

Hi all, just had printed a 3D dust cover for the Dec axis for my Eq8 R Pro mount. It's not my design but designed by a guy called Nico on the Eq8 forum who's generously shared the design file's for us. Fit's like a glove.

Looks like a very neat print Nigella; what printer do you use?

Hi Jim, I had outsourced the 3D print to a company in Cornwall,  £15. I don't have a 3D printer.

Looks really well printed Nigela. so money well spent. I use an Ender 5 at moment but I'm looking to upgrade to give a wider material ability.

Yeah, Jim, I'm pleased with it. Thought about buying a 3D printer but for the small amount of thing's I'd use it for probably not worth it hence outsourcing the 3D printing company.

Nice cover. would it be possible to share a link to Nicos files or where I can find him? Because I was not able to find it anywhere. Thank you.

Does anyone know if this will work on the original EQ8, not the new ones?

Only the new one's I'm afraid.

Ah that’s a shame will try and hunt down one for the original.
