This is a simple mask for SCT collimation. It can be printed in different materials of your liking (gluestic recommanded for PLA). Pictured is PETG leftover filaments used but I suggest you print it black of use anti-relfection material…
I took inspiration from @misterT Advanced Telescope Collimation Cap and made my own version of their collimation cap. Some feedback from their design was that you had to cut the model in the slicer to properly print it and then glue it…
Simple thumbscrew for M4 nyloc nut. Prints without supports.
This is a very basic remix of this nice stand to collimate your laser collimator: https://www.printables.com/model/263598-laser-collimator-collimation-stand I added some basic tabs to allow you to tape the stand to a flat surface so it…
This is a simple secondary mirror mask I made to ease collimating the focuser with a laser. If you have trouble with it like I do this makes it quick and easy. This is sized for the RC8 secondary baffle tube. I have supplied the FreeCAD…
When using newtonian telescope we very need make collimation. It is very difficult if you don't use any tool. That tool is good way to alignment 90 degree of secondary mirror. After that that tool is good way to alignment main mirror. The…

When eVscope is collimated, this tool is placed top of phone or iPad screen. The unfocused star is a ball with cross of telescope camera support. Tool is used to confirm, that the cross is middle of the star and there fore the eVscope…
This is fully printed jig for collimating 1.25" or 2" laser collimator with adjustable support distance. Assembly Assemble it by sliding the supports to the base. It is designed as interference fit with flexible elements so the supports…
Cheshire eyepiece and collimation cap designed for 2 inch focusers for use without adapter. Printing and slicing Make sure that seam on the lower cylindric surface is in the prepared groove. Slicer should put it there by default.…

Il s'agit d'un simple tube Collimation pour télescope, ce place dans l'emplacement de l'oculaire et permet de centrer le miroir primaire ! En regardant par le petit trou de 2.5mm et en agissant sur les visses de réglage on doit voir…
A one part Cheshire-style collimation eyepiece (1.25 in). More effective than a standard pinhole collimation cap, especially when lighting is not optimal. Update 02-2025: Added a version of the eyepiece with crosshairs. Make sure to print…
This is a little stand to help with collimating a Zhumell laser collimator. Follow the instructions here (not my video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZsgNlgIrqQ Category: Tools
Ring for Hadley's main mirror, so you can quickly find a 20cm centered circle for collimation. Intended to be used with the Primary Mirror (114mm) Installation Support by fortinmike as well as the Cheshire Collimation Eyepiece by…
3mm hole in the center for the laser to pass through. Model is 1 mm thick but I got away with only printing up to 0.8mm, will be a little flimsy.
When the time comes to install your primary mirror on the Hadley LTA, there are multiple options. Here's how I assembled mine: This is a section view of the primary mirror in its cell (left) and the LTA (top and right), with the rear of…
A quick printing collimation ring. Prints in under 10 minutes and weighs under 5g. It's raised so only the 3 corners should touch the surface of the mirror. The inner ring is slightly larger than the secondary holder, making it easy to…
Ever needed to collimate a telescope? Sometimes you do and you just don't want to destroy your eyepiece covers, well here you go! The cap itself is pretty self explanatory, the extra bits are for cutting and inserting a foil piece on the…
After assembling the metric Hadley and trying to collimate, I noticed the collimation knobs hit the tubes: Since I really want to have the tubes extend a bit further so the OTA will never rest on the collimation knobs, I made a slightly…
Holder for center spot finder and Cheshire Collimation Eyepiece .
suggest printing with black filament Must-have, quick collimation aid for reflector telescope Helps ensure your reflector is in perfect collimation for sharpest images Has hole in center and reflective material on underside; fits 1.25"…
It's a tight fit so make sure your printer is tuned, don't be afraid to use a little force.
Print it exactly the same as you would the original. Crosshair flat on the bed and no supports. PLA is fine.
After about two weeks of emailing and calling Farpoint Astro about collimating my collimation laser, I decided to try it myself. This V block has a correctly sized step and inverted fillet in the groove to ensure the laser sits squarely…
Improved collimation cap for aligning Newtonian reflector telescopes For 1.25" tube Centered opening (1.5 mm) with cone-shaped tube to stay on axis (10 ° total opening angle) Eyecup can be clipped or glued onto the cap (0.05 mm radial…
To collimate my C11 or RC in my garage, I needed an artificial star. The artificial star was easy enough to find, but I needed a convex, spherical mirror to increase the distance between my scope and the artificial star. Sized to fit a…
This is a tool that clips on the primary mirror to aid with collimation for the Travel Telescope created by Anders . This is my first telescope and I was having trouble collimating the primary lens well. Rather than sticky my greasy…
