Not all 3D printing services are the same. I have had the same part printed by different printers and they came out slightly different.
Bracket for Vixen Dual Spead Focuser NO. 37227
Replaces the metal bracket that is supplyed with the Vixen Dual Speed Focuser.
I found that the Vixen bracket flexes when changing direction using the fine focus knob.
This bracket is much stiffer and also covers the entire focuser plate that hold the pinon to the drawtube.
Made with white PLA using 100% fill.
Replaced the machine screws with stainless steel.
