Telescope Carry Handle

thingiverse

I wanted a removable handle to carry my 8" RC telescope OTA around. The scope has a Vixen style rail on top for the guide scope; I typically lift the scope by that rail. the rail sits on radius blocks that give right at 1cm gap between the OTA body and the bottom of the rail. So, I made a couple of handles that slip under the rail and hook it from beneath. The two pieces (you have to print two copies of the handle) slip under the rail on both sides and then kind of snap together to form a handle. Works great! Print it laying on edge for minimum support requirements.
