<p>Print these and snap them onto the rods of the <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/299531-8-newtonian-telescope-leavitt">203 Leavitt telescope</a> to protect the primary mirror from collecting dust or inadvertent touches.</p><p>First snap on the one labeled 1 and rotate it into place, then snap on the one labeled 2 and rotate it into place, then snap on the one labeled 3 and rotate it into place. Remove them in the reverse order.</p><p>It's hard to know exactly how tight to set tolerances on something like this, as your telescope may have wound up very slightly tighter or looser than another. If the pieces are very difficult to rotate into place, you can sand down the edges that rub together a little bit. I had to do that on one piece.</p>
