Description
I feel like the small community is just out to scam you without discussion. Recently, I got into astrophotography and found that star tracker tripods are extremely expensive; even a used ordinary large star tracker tripod costs around 200 yuan. With a desire to just play on a budget, I suddenly realized that I could make a very good tripod with leftover aluminum profiles, so I made this. The strength will certainly not be as high as all-metal, but supporting anything under ten kilograms is not a problem, provided you are not stingy with filament usage.
The structure is very simple, accessories needed:
M5x40 socket head cap screws and nuts
M6x12 nuts
M3x20 screws
3/8 x45mm nuts
M4x8 screws and slider nuts
32x24x16 rubber pads and M6x16 nuts to fix them
Finally, the aluminum profile can be of any length, as long as both ends can be tapped for M6
