Cooling Fan

While waiting for the primary mirror  I did some work on the fan.  I read a few posts that said the fan works better if its not mounted directly to the cell.  The baffle was made with an ABS plastic sheet.  A hole was cut out of the center and the fan was mounted to the plastic.  A thin bungee was attached to ABS board and then looped around the primary locking screws.



The orange dots on the primary knobs are to help with collimating the mirror.

The cork pads the primary mirror sits on were glued on in just random positions.  I removed and replaced them in more of a triangle position so the primary will now rest on two pads instead of just one.
