Thanks for your filter wheel. Have print it. All parts are good except the wheel_holder. the diameter of the 1.25 "filter support is too large and the filters can not be screwed on. Are you aware, do you have a return in this direction. As soon as

The small one will take 20 mm and the large one 33 mm of your light path. These are however rather old designs by which the threads were produced manually and it appears that the threads for the filters do not function properly. It's a product when I just started. I may redesign the whole thing some day but I'm rather busy with the LOWSPEC project on Thingiverse at the moment.

Hey Paul! Fantastic job! I've just tested the 2" threaded hole by printing it with .12 mm settings on cura, and it's a bit loose on my filters. Might be the tolerance of my printer (ender 3) but I just felt like giving you a heads up! (And screwing metal on plastic isn't always the best combo) :) Thank you again for the amazing job! :D
