New modular Allsky enclosure design

[loykastj]

This is an AllSky camera enclosure designed to be used with a variety of computers, cameras, and domes. Highly modular, .STEP files uploaded so you can tinker.

Tested with MeLe PCG02 mini Windows PC, Raspberry Pi 4b, ASI224mc w/ Arecont 1.55mm & generic 3.2mm CS mount lens, and RPi HQcam w/ Arecont 1.55mm lens & generic 3.2mm lens.

Design goal was to be highly modular, as we all have different computers, cameras, lenses, wiring, sensors, etc. I wanted people to be able to take the parts and modify them to their needs. I like having the acrylic dome being easily removed w/ M3 screws, as I love in Oklahoma and it gets extremely hot and acrylic eventually yellows.

All .STEP files have been shared.

That's very nice! I've been toying around with idea of getting a 3D printer to start making my own custom parts for my astro crap and what not...

Do it! You won't regret it. I highly recommend either the Bambu P1S or X1C, I have both, prefer the X1C although its pricey.
I also liked my old MK3S+ that I replaced with the X1C. I like how compact the fully enclosed Bambu printers are. The Prusa with an enclosure is MASSIVE, it takes an unreasonable amount of space given the print bed dimensions. The footprint of an enclosed Bambu is much easier to find space for on the workbench.
Also, the Bambu AMS "just works", compared to the fiddly nature of the Prusa MMU.
