Pentax K-mount SLR to 1.25" telescope eyepiece adapter

thingiverse

I whipped up something special for a night out stargazing with a friend - taking pictures through a telescope just got a whole lot easier! This design lets you snap photos through your trusty Pentax K-mount camera. Now, let's get down to business - here's how to make the most of this project: Instructions I made mine with some high-quality black PLA, double walls for extra durability, and an infill density of 20%. I also kicked it up a notch by adding a part fan, which allowed me to print this beauty without any pesky supports. I put it to the test with my trusty Pentax K-x camera. Important Notes Keep in mind that this mount needs to fit snugly around your telescope lens to prevent any stray light from creeping in. If your 3D printer is still finding its footing or your slicer can't quite get the details right, you may need to break out a file and do some fine-tuning. One more thing - before snapping any photos, make sure that camera is securely locked into place!
