About this 3D model

In ancient years of Yor, before the TSA and the FAA got twitchy about lasers and aircraft (Early 2000s), I had a Burning Man Project which had a GameBoy Advance controlling a Laser Turret to point out stars, planets, and satellites. I decided to see if I could 3D print a more modern Altitude-Azimuth turret. Turns out, I can. **Disclaimer: POINTING LASERS IN THE AIR NOWADAYS CAN GET YOU ARRESTED. DON'T DO IT.** I only post this design because I like being able to say that I've designed and built a Laser Turret. This turret should be useful as a base design for making non-laser things that need an Alt-Az turret. Maybe useful for mounting a security camera. Not useful for astro-photography, though, due to low angular resolution.
