There are currently two versions of 3D parts, which have been designed for the Takahashi FSQ-106N and the 
Explore Scientific ED102 Essential Series but may fit other telescopes depending on their size. The two 
variations will fit dew shields with an outside diameter of approximately 146.3mm and 156mm, respectively, and
all files can be printed on beds up to 200 mm.

FILES TO PRINT:

The *_el_cover.stl file will need to be printed two times.
