SkyForge Changelog

Fit tests are now clearly marked as test prints: they sit in their own section of the parts list, and the builder explains that they can't be added to the 3D model.

Tidied up the changelog page.

Reworded the changelog so it reads more clearly.

Added this changelog. Open it from the link at the top of the builder, or by clicking the version number.

New fit-test parts for the ASI533, ZWO puck and Player One cradles. Each one is just the camera cup, so it prints in a fraction of the time. Push your camera in, adjust the grip size if you need to, then print the full cradle at the same setting. One test covers both the standard and tall cradles.

Stronger camera grip on every cradle (ASI533, ZWO puck and Player One, standard and tall). A builder's ASI676MC measured a little over 62mm and cracked the fingers going in, so the cup was reworked:

• the camera only grips near the top of the fingers, so they flex instead of snapping off at the base
• the slits between the fingers run all the way down, with rounded ends
• a longer lead-in at the top makes the camera easier to start
• the puck cup is slightly larger (61.9mm) for cameras that run oversize
• the backup pinch-screw holes moved onto solid finger wall, three per cup

Fixed the 3D preview showing the ASI533 2mm too low in the tall cradle. Printed parts were not affected.

If your lens sits too high for the dome, you can now reprint just the cap with a taller top instead of the tube and cradle. The seat clearance note tells you how much to add.

Redesigned the printable TPU bottom seal for the tall tube to match the current seal groove. It's there for test printing; a standard 125mm x 3mm O-ring is still the safe choice.

Pulled the printable TPU bottom seal for the tall tube after a builder found it didn't fit. Use a 125mm x 3mm O-ring for now.

Added a Tutorial Video link at the top of the builder. The Tall tube is now selected by default.

Maintenance update to the online builder.

SkyForge opens to the public. This build also lets you move the dew ring down as well as up, for when it ends up sitting above your lens. It stops at the lowest point each tray allows.

Development build.

• 3D assembly view: tube, cap, cradle and dew tray stacked together with a stand-in camera and lens, so you can check the whole head first
• pick your camera and enter your lens length to see where the lens tip ends up
• colour themes
• download everything you've generated as one .zip
• a soda can in the 3D view for scale

Development build. First version of the SkyForge builder app: pick a part, adjust it, preview it in 3D and export the STL.

• parts screw together instead of twist-locking: short cradles thread onto the tube, and the tall insert screws up into its tube against an O-ring
• the dew heater ring screws onto the top of every cradle
• cable channels for side-USB cameras
• sealed option with a breather port instead of open vents
• optional N/E/S/W letters on the tube for aiming the camera
• adjustable tube length and camera height

The first lighthouse-style head: a 120mm tube with a screw-off dome cap, drip skirt, passive vents and a 2" pole mount, plus drop-in cradles for the ASI533MC Pro, ZWO puck cameras, Player One Neptune-C/Mars-C and the Raspberry Pi HQ camera. A tall version with room for a Pi 5, power gear and a fan followed a day later.

The "flying saucer" enclosure, a wide two-piece design with an internal fan. It led to the slimmer lighthouse head.
