DIY Enthusiasts Unite: Crafting Your Own Spectrometer from a DVD Gather 'round, DIY aficionados! I'm about to share with you an ingenious way to build your very own spectrometer using a humble DVD as the base. The main tube of this project is crafted from a standard 1 1/4 inch telescope component. To ensure optimal performance, I give my tubes a sleek black makeover using matte spray paint. This simple trick eliminates unwanted reflections and helps you achieve precise readings. Now, let's talk about the slit – a crucial aspect of your spectrometer. Since the size will depend on the specific 3D printed part used, we offer various options to cater to different needs. For those who want an even more customized experience, a 4mm slit is also available for creating a paper or DIY slit. To get you started, we've included a comprehensive PDF guide that walks you through the process of cutting your DVD into the perfect shape. Before you begin, make sure to carefully remove the DVD's coating using duct tape or an equivalent adhesive. This will ensure a smooth and precise cutting experience.
