I was having problems with focus flop on this short refractor, so i printed a sleeve that attaches to a linear bearing on the losmandy plate.

the setup has several more 3d printed changes since I recorded this. The 'car' that carries the camera is longer and has two rails now.

I'm pretty sure this is novel. Its completely eliminated focus flop without spending like 3k on a nightcrawler.
