Protect your ZWO Seestar S50 optics permanently without risking motor collisions during auto-park cycles.
100% compatible with automatic park cycles & direct factory case storage
Many third-party lens caps on the market suffer from a major design flaw: excessive thickness obstructs the rotating arm of the ZWO Seestar S50. During an automated shutdown or application-triggered « Park » command, the drive motors push directly against the cap, risking internal gear wear. Precision-crafted directly in my workshop in Cannes, France, this protective cap eliminates clearance issues through accurate millimeter-level tolerances.
🔄 100% Safe Automatic ParkThe ultra-slim profile preserves complete mechanical clearance during arm rotation. Schedule nocturnal imaging runs with peace of mind: during automated park, the arm retreats into its housing without touching the chassis. |
💼 Direct Factory Case StorageNo need to strip the lens cap when packing away. With my cap snapped in place, the Seestar S50 slides smoothly into its original ZWO storage case without compressing the foam. |
While many 3D-printed parts on the market use standard PLA (which warps at just 50 °C), I manufacture exclusively with technical high-density PETG. This cover retains its mechanical shape up to 80 °C (safe in hot summer car trunks), withstands sub-zero winter frost without turning brittle, and leaves zero debris on the 50 mm front doublet.
💡 The craftsman's word: "Offering an accessory at €7.90 does not mean compromising on my standards. It represents streamlined workshop production in industrial-grade PETG directly at Azur3dprint, cutting out middlemen. Built by an astronomer, for astronomers."
— Vincent, Founder of Azur3dprint
Yes, without compromise. At Azur3dprint, I design and build every single accessory with the exact standards I demand for my own astronomy setups. I simply apply fair pricing: I refuse cheap PLA in favor of rugged technical PETG that ignores temperature shifts, manufactured locally.
Nothing adverse occurs. The thickness and outside profile match native mechanical clearances. The arm rotates and docks into resting position without touching the body, protecting motors and belts.
Yes. The flush profile allows the official carrying case to shut securely without indenting the protective foam.
No. I verified all dimensions directly on actual Seestar S50 hardware: retention is firm yet gentle, avoiding surface wear on the chassis.
