Base for Edmund Scientific Astroscan telescope

Bases for this telescope are impossible to find sold separately, so I rolled my own with the help of Claude AI. I made the 3 pieces of the mount hollow with a screw on lid so you can add weight to the base if wanted for extra heft. The base is made of 3 interconnecting pieces. The felt pads help with moving the telescope smoothly. Print with the 'elephant foot compensation' turned on so the pegs that slide into the slot of the adjoining segment fit properly, and not too thick on the bottom of the print. Use 1 inch round felt pads for the top,and 3/4 inch round rubber feet for the bottom. For the screws for the bottom lids, flat head M3x8mm or #4 x 3/8 inch screws are used.
