Which 3D printed DIY scope should I build?
I have seen two projects out there so far. The first is the OpenFlexure project (https://openflexure.org) and the second was the PUMA Project (https://github.com/TadPath/PUMA). My first go to was the OpenFlexure project but then got turned around. I would like something that in the end is going to work very well for us, be super flexible and be the most capable. I would prioritize ability vice difficulty of use/assembly.
