DIY AllSky Camera

Instructions
Print parts, do NOT use PLA, it will melt. I use PETG. No supports needed, I used 20% infill.
  • Base plate

  • Nut plate (optional)
    The nut plate was made as a separate part to avoid printing with supports.

  • Dome bezel (optional)
    The dome bezel is exposed to the sun, I do not know how well PETG will withstand the UV. The other components are not exposed to the sun.
Drill 1/4 inch hole in center of top cover of electrical box. (Any similar electrical box will do)
Use base plate as a template for drilling dome mounting holes.

The gap in the rim is where the USB exits the camera.

I purposly aimed it so the cable would go to the corner and have the most room to bend down, but you can position it any way you want.


Use the nut plate as a template to draw where the RTV silicon needs to go.
Enlarge center hole to 2 inches for ZWO camera to seat flush. This is best done with a hole saw drill.

  • Use either M4 x 50 or 6-32 x 2 inch screws, stainless highly recommended. The length of the screws will vary depending on which camera you use. The 50mm/2" is for the ASI120 series cameras. The ASI290 is a bit taller and may require longer screws.
