AWB Onesky Rack and Pinion Focuser

thingiverse

I found the rotary focuser that came with my AWB Onesky a bit hard to use with a camera, so I purchased an Orion 13031 and made the new pieces to fit it. You will need a few M3, M4, M5, and M6 rivet nut inserts, I used these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWKGGGM 2ea M3x10 if you want to mount a shroud, I will be using Kydex and will drill holes to attach it directly. 4ea M4x20 to mount the focuser. 2ea M6x10 to mount the focuser assembly to the endcap assembly. Downside is that the new focuser is 1 1/4" taller than the stock focuser. This means that you will need to lower the end assembly the same amount to be able to focus on anything. I may design my own focuser in the future, but have not made a decision on that yet. Lowering the end assembly may not be required when mounting a camera, depending on how many extensions you had to add on the original focuser.
