3D printed telescope

The telescope was designed for a 250 mm mirror. The eyepiece holder and the spider were recovered from my old Dobson Orion N 254/1200 SkyQuest XT10i IntelliScope. Note that these can also be modeled to be printed. The parts can of course be modified on the Blender modeling software I used, so that it is compatible with other models. 16 x 16 mm aluminum bars and a 12 x 10 mm bar were used. 8mm carbon rods purchased from Decathlon were also used.

The file folder is composed of 2 subfolders: a subfolder including files in Blender File format, to see the modeling of all the parts that can be modified. Then a sub-folder with all the parts in STL format that can be opened on Blender to be eventually modified and also opened on a printing software for 3D printers, in this case for me: Cura-by-Dagoma.

Software used:

• Blender: https://www.blender.org/download/

• Cura-by-Dagoma-Easy200: https://dagoma.fr/logiciels.html

Printer used:

• DiscoEasy200: https://dagoma.fr/imprimantes-3d.html

For more understanding: download Blender software which is free to see the barrel in 3D. (this is the software I used to model the whole telescope which will allow to record for your 3D machine).
