Summary

This is an extended length finder mount that I designed for my Meade Polaris 130 telescope. I made it because I am disabled and it is far too difficult for me to use the finder with it's original mount.

Use supports from the buildplate only and preview it to make certain there is support only on the bottom of the mount.  Occasionally it will have supports running all the way to the top, which will work fine, but if you only have supports on the mounting base you'll save a lot of filament and it will print considerably faster, plus it will be easier in post and will look better.  One of the mounts I printed and the dovetail wasn't very tight for that particular finder so I had to increase the width .15mm to get a snug fit.</p></div>
