A model of the JWST telescope mirrors, curved to match the scaled focal point of the real telescope.
for this model you will need:
Non Printed:
Approx 40 x 16mm M3 bolts
An equal number of nuts (I used hex).
19 x gold acrylic mirrors (~1mm thick, ~69mm edge to edge, ~79mm corner to corner)
These should work: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/193466227519
Printed:
18 x ‘Segment_Accessable’
1 x ‘Segment_Centre’
1 x ‘Segment_Cover_Design’
Do a test print to check the tolerances on your mirrors!!!
Assembly:
- Start with the center piece, thread your nut onto your bolt so it is just larger than the gap left between the holes on the underside of the two hexagons you would like to connect.
- Drop the bolt and nut assembly down into the groove designed for them.
- use a ball-end allen key or similar to tighten the bolt and nut together, clamping the two hexagons in place, make sure to crank the bolt tight, the prints are strong and any wobble will only be amplified by the other mirrors. If one bolt falls out when you tighten another it means it wasn't tight enough and you need to reinstall that bolt + nut.
- Repeat for all edges between frame segments.
Note: The frame will not lay flat and is not meant to.
Note 2: I found doing every other hexagon and then using the ones already installed to support the rest very helpful.
- Once the frame is assembled, peel off the backing from your mirrors and press into the recesses. The fit should be tight but not so much that the mirrors bend, if they do then your tolerances are too tight :( . I found that the mirrors varied a little in quality so if one doesn't fit, try another.
- The center piece should be deeper than the others, this will allow you to align the center design by putting into the same recess as the mirror, I used double-sided tape to hold the design on.
- You can glue the sections together for more rigidity if you want but I didn't.
Note 3: To hang it I tied a piece of string to two of the bolts and used that and a sticky hook on the wall.
Happy making! :)
