Re: DIY Spring Loaded Worms for the G11
Thanks for your suggestions, Edward.? Any idea what the glass transition temperature might be?? From your comments, I suspect somewhere around the same as PETG, maybe 85c or so?? My google searches

Re: DIY Spring Loaded Worms for the G11
SO I think (and this just my opinion/experience) when I printed the modified rockmover design with PETG, it did not appear to warp. It might because the thickness of the walls. But when I used PETG to

Re: DIY Spring Loaded Worms for the G11
As another 3D printer enthusiast, I will chime in with my 2 cents. Nice design you have which can print as shown with no overhangs. Rather than tinkering with slicer settings to deal with shrinkage in

Re: DIY Spring Loaded Worms for the G11
Thanks for the info.?? I guess I'll stick with PETG for now. Previous PLA+ brackets did start to warp in the sun, but hopefully PETG will stay solid. Yes, I did print the orientation you describe,

Re: DIY Spring Loaded Worms for the G11
Tony, I actually like PETG better. It seems to me a harder plastic and more rigid. But all I have right now is ASA. I am not an expert on 3d printing but I have not seen shrinkage with ASA. My printer

Re: DIY Spring Loaded Worms for the G11
How do you find ASA is to print??? Do you have an enclosed printer??? The brackets on my mount are currently printed in PETG at 100%, but the added rigidity of ABS or ASA does sound welcome.?? I

Affinity Discount
I just noticed that Affinity Photo is available at a steep discount for a short time, putting the purchase (not lease) price at $25.? I have been using it for final post processing as a replacement

Re: DIY Spring Loaded Worms for the G11
Thanks soo much,? I currently have ASA filament on the printer. I will try that with 100% infill. I will let you know how it works and post pictures showing the setup when I get it working. It looks

Re: DIY Spring Loaded Worms for the G11
Hi Brent - The weather did not cooperate last night, so I was unable to star test the thing, but I did play around for a couple of hours in the daylight.? I'm pretty confident these things will work

Re: Minimum duration for Pulseguide?
To close this thread, I switched guiding from TSX to PHD2 on my G11. Same movement thresholds, same camera orientation, different guiding software. No more trailing issues. Go figure.

Re: How does RA tracking / guiding work?
Here are my notes on Gemini-1 divisor values from the early 2000's: ---------- The RA divisor indicates how often Gemini advances the RA motor one step forward. The actual number used for this will
Re: New G11G Looking for final tweaking advice
Well now this screenshot is too cropped, so I have no idea what is the amplitude of your errors. I don't remember what was my before vs after 76s error.? Except that the mod cut it down to a third or

Re: How does RA tracking / guiding work?
oh I forgot to mention the Gemini 1 was 16 bit, so the max 16 bit value was 2^16 = 65,536.?? The titan divisor has a "pre-scaler" computation of "2" to bring the divisor value below the 16 bit

Re: New G11G Looking for final tweaking advice
David, Sorry to hear about your continued issues. I am sure you want to get the mount operational ASAP. As per the other replies, the 76 seconds error is always due to the bearings and the way they

Re: G11T goto limits?
Second, the Gemini prefers to say on same side of pier that it's on, so if your next target is reachable on the same side of pier, it will slew to it on same side of pier, even though it may be

Re: How does RA tracking / guiding work?
Absolutely! Planning an entire week of getting this mount all setup so that I get stable results. I'm not generally a tweaker so that would be a last resort

Re: G11T goto limits?
limits of my RA so it can¡¯t go more than 90 degrees from vertical, will that eliminate the problem of the mount going to very inconvenient positions when using the goto? It may be one or both of the

Re: G11T goto limits?
I guess my next question would be about setting limits. If I set the limits of my RA so it can¡¯t go more than 90 degrees from vertical, will that eliminate the problem of the mount going to very
