You might be interested in a volcano clone nozzle for your ender. They cost like 2£ on ali and come with a non-stick coating. They increase the possible flow rate quite a lot. I am looking forward to the collimation! It would be cool of it eas possible to have one camera feed at like 50% opacity and overlay it on the other one. Then you could adjust the angles potentially a bit easier
Ooh. I like the opacity idea. This could be achieved on a PC using a program such as "Windows Top", which allows one window to be locked on top while set at an opacity of your choosing. I used to use it for tracing logos in Forza (driving game, livery/decals editor).
Lasers will be of more a headache and probably won't work. Point the scope to the stars, loop the cameras and adjust one till it matches the other. Close as you can get anyway. Good luck.
I'd love to do this someday. Looks like it's gonna be both great and a bit of a headache at first. Re: alignment, I just saw a 13 year old video by Astronomyshed on adjusting cone error. That got me thinking that these methods could be utilised for your alignment dilemma? Good luck Andy!
Good information on flocking and 3D printing Andy.

Looks good Andy. Thanks.
Hi Andy I'm the one who suggested the laser idea glad you picked it up hope it works out for you and thanks for the acknowledgement
Cool thanks!
Great progress Andy

Look into adding klipper to your 3d printer, you'll half your printing times at minium, and other nice features
Great video Andy. Love your own music that complements really well
Thanks Jim!

Its lots of work, but getting there. I've decided to get the JTD Dual Rig Telescope Alignment Saddle.
Is your spider on thingyverse? Haven't got a printer yet, but plan to one day.
Yes, its called something odd though. I think I linked it in one of my videos.
Come on Andy mate - 2 weeks and no reply?
Appols I don't see all the messages
