Tommy's Latitude Wedge for Star Tracker (TW-1)

This latitude wedge base is designed to fit the matching star tracker (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4764823), but I will upload an adapter for other types of telescope attachments. It's designed to be as cheap as possible and uses simple accessible parts for assembly. The hole sizes are 1/4" for the larger bolts (because metric eye bolts seem to be impossible to find in Canada), M4 for the two small bolts in the base, and M3 for the two set screw in the gears. The eye bolts could use a hole drilled for the set screws to hold them better, but I've found that an old allen key works just as well without needing a hole.
