Here youll find another
recent 3D printing project just for Astronomical Observation.
One of the biggest problems with both of our current observatories
is a place to put stuff like cords, cradles, bags, covers, coats
and such. These heavy duty hooks were designed to fill that need,
and are bright colors in red flashlights for easy visibility.
Each hook takes one hour to 3D print. Ive now mounted the gold
hooks in our Payson backyard observatory, and the red hooks are
planned to be installed up in Happy Jack. Problem solved!
