Telescope/camera solar filter cap

Telescope/camera solar filter cap

thingiverse

This project will print a custom cap for your telescope or camera which can then be fitted with a solar filter sheet cut to your specific dimensions. The files are OpenScad editable files. Just measure the outside diameter of your telescope tube or camera objective in millimeters and plug it into the OpenScad code at the top as indicated, then export to STL format to print. If your printer bed is not large enough for the entire print, I also included a quarter section with a tongue and groove design to be printed x4 and simply glued together. The solar filter sheets can be found on Amazon and other retailers and are very inexpensive. The images show the solar filter I created for my 8" dobsonian telescope using the quarter section design.
