Meade motorized focus system

Meade motorized focus system

Description

This is a mounting bracket and gear system I designed to make my Meade LXD55 8" SCT compatible with a motorized focuser. It works with the aforementioned scope and any Orion AccuFocus DC motor or similar system. Additional hardware needed are 4 M4 nuts and matching bolts (I used 2 of the bolts that came with the AccuFocus and then two additional ones that I purchased to go with the nuts in the gears). Supports should only be needed for the Main Body bracket. The gears don't need supports, just make sure you rotate them in your slicer to put the large, flat surface against your build plate.
