76mm Reflector Telescope

thingiverse

With this model you can create a simple 76mm reflector with different focal lengths depending on the set of mirrors you have. Mine is built for a 300mm focal length. Features: - It has the ability to be mounted on a simple photography mount - Both mirror mounts have setting screws for collimation - A simple "Iron sights" finder scope can be useful in dark adaptation; it can also be replaced with a red dot finder for more accurate work - A simple rack and pinion focuser is available, which can be a bit wobbly towards the outer end but once locked is rock solid Disclaimer: Don't take this as a serious instrument; this project is meant to be functional, but it still cannot substitute bigger and finer made instruments. Disclaimer #2: I printed all the pieces, but I still need to wait for the mirrors to arrive before trying and testing it.
