solar filter for telescope

thingiverse

made for Orion spaceprobe 130ST EQ but should work on other 6in telescopes I didn't wanna spend a lot of money on a pre-made one on amazon and wanted a challenge so here we are. going to be honest I used some screws and old printed pins had laying around and had to drill the holes to size. print orientation doesn't matter just as long as 9 hours and 1 day mean the same thing to you. I suggest laying it down but its your printer and your filament. do what you want. Parts you NEED just paste into amazon. SPEEDYORDERS 2 Qty 1/4" Plexiglass Sheet, 6 Inch Diameter Clear Acrylic Circle, Round Cake Disc, Cake Disk Acrylic Sheet, Plexiglass Table Top, Round Acrylic Backdrop Made in USA 10"x10" Solar Filter Sheet for Telescopes, Binoculars and Cameras **********DO NOT USE WITHOUT SOLAR FILM ON AND UNDAMAGED FAILURE TO DO SO WILL DAMAGE YOUR EYES!!!!!!!!!************ I recommend using a flashlight to check for light leakage if satisfied use the sun without the telescope THEN use telescope. sandwich the film in-between plexiglass then place in the flat side inside of the holder cut film but be careful of damaging film that will be used also added a AA gun sight for fun I don't recommend actually using it but I think it is cool/funny see you in Corpus Christi on October 14,2023
