UPDATE 11/12/17: I have a new (bigger) version printed and being constructed at the moment, so keep an eye out for the models once it's done.
A printable equatorial mount for a telescope with a dovetail. I plan on using 1/2" threaded rods, 1/2" x 9/8" x 5/16" bearings, and 1/2" nuts to hold everything together.
I have it designed to use two steppers (I will test if NEMA 17s will work, otherwise high torque NEMA 23s) and they will be belt driving the RA and Dec axis of the mount. This doesn't include a way to attach to a tripod or anything, so bust out the hotglue and drills.
I honestly have no idea if this will work or how many pounds it will hold, most likely variable on plastic (I'm using colorfabb ngen - clear personally).
UPDATE 10-14-16:
-Designed a 'belt'box to decrease the arcseconds traveled. ~211 arcsec per 1 step to ~4 arcsec per 1 step (1:42.25 ratio). I'll be using GT2 3mm timing belt from openbuildspartstore.com.
-I also redesigned the polar knob to make
