3D Adapter between Takahashi FS-60CB and TSOAG9

My 3D printed model to use a TSOAG9 with a Takahashi FS-60CB. It works like a charm and makes a perfect mobile setup.

I wanted to combine my Takahashi FS-60CB and my TS Off Axis Gudier 9 (TSOAG9). Basically I want to replace the Takahashi Wide T-Mount for my CANON EOS. The optical length works perfect with an adapter of an optical length of 0.5mm.

The 3D Model

I make my 3D models with the simple 3D designer that comes with Windows 10. The optical length is only 0.5mm. In combination with the TSOAG9 with EOS it comes to the same optical length as the Takahashi wide T-Adapter for EOS.

I printed my 1st version with a thickness of 0.1mm and a 15% fill.

The result of the first test optical test. It really seems to work ok 🙂 At least I am really happy with the result.
