thingiverse

This 3D-printed tool is a valuable asset for telescope enthusiasts, consisting of two key components: a collimator cradle and a target. **Collimator Cradle:** The collimator cradle serves as a secure holder for a laser collimator—a crucial device used to align and fine-tune a telescope's optics. With its stable and user-friendly design, this cradle simplifies the process of adjusting your telescope, ensuring precision and ease. **Target:** The target is anoptional element of this design, facilitating collimator alignment. It features a distinct pattern that acts as a reference point. By aligning your collimator with this pattern, you can make meticulous adjustments to your collimator's optical components until the laser or optical alignment appears perfectly centered and symmetrical. This meticulous calibration guarantees that your collimator is correctly set up, ensuring that your telescope delivers crystal-clear and precise results when used.
