Crafting a Telescope in the Contemporary Era
Get Ready to Build Your Own 3D-Printed Telescope!
Hey there! Remember those childhood days when we eagerly awaited the Edmund catalog, dreaming of building our own telescope? Well, it's time to revisit that nostalgia with La3emedimension's amazing 3D-printable telescope kit!
Now, before you get cracking with the 3D printer, there are a few things to keep in mind. PLA isn't recommended for this project, and you'll need some additional parts to complete it. Although the README file containing the bill of parts may be hard to spot, don't fret! There's a comprehensive French support page and even a Discord server to help you find everything you need.
If you're feeling daring, you can nab some optics from an existing telescope or, of course, buy new ones. However, grinding your own mirrors might be too much of a challenge unless you're a true enthusiast! You can even opt for the ready-made kit if you'd rather avoid the printing and parts gathering.
This compact telescope is perfect for travel, making it a great companion for your adventures. If you decide to build one or even create your own spin-off, we'd love to hear all about it!
This particular telescope design is unlike most we've seen. If you're yearning for that old-school charm, we've got a fantastic guide to help! Don't miss out on the opportunity to join this exciting DIY project!
Important: The complete list of parts for printing and assembly can be found in the README file linked on La3emedimension's official project page. The 3D-printed components are meticulously designed for a 150/750 small telescope configuration and come with quantities specified. If needed, you can also purchase the ready-to-use version of the kit, professionally assembled and quality-checked, ensuring optimal working conditions. Don't forget to join the La3emedimension Discord channel for assistance with assembly! [1]
This 3D-printed telescope project not only allows DIY enthusiasts to build their own gadgets but also introduces them to the fascinating world of technology. For those who need additional guidance, a comprehensive French support page and a Discord server are available to help find the necessary parts.
