I reprinted the adapter with a longer nosepiece to avoid misalignment due to the setting screw hitting the grove. This new one is printed using PETG with carbon fibre. To do this, I have to use stainless steel nozzle but it's still difficult.
The first one failed in the middle, since the supporting structure collapsed during the print:
It's so bad that I have to cancel the print, wasting quite a lot of filaments.
I did a atomic pull to clear up everything, slow down the print as advised by Gemini. It did help but some of the supporting collapsed too:
No more misalignemt issue with the longer nosepiece before the grove, another issue was found about squaring the focuser. It could be adjusted by the fixing screws on the NGF-CM.
This is another hobby altogether. I mean DIY of equipments.
Frustrating sometimes but lovely at the end. I will test it out shortly. Dark night is getting shorter and shorter.
