INTRO
I recently printed a Bhatinov mask for my newly acquired 10" Dobsonian telescope and needed a way to easily and securely attach it. Printing a mounting ring in it's entirety was out of the question since the bed of my printer wasn't big enough. So, I decided to print sections of the ring and glue them together. Knowing I would probably need rings for different filters (I also bought a premounted solar filter), I wrote a script for openSCAD so I could easily control different variables.
PREP
1) Download and install openSCAD
2) Download and save all of the files
3) Open openSCAD and then load the FilterRingSectonRevx.scad script
4) Get a ruler with a metric scale and/or some calipers
5) Gather your filters and your scope and do the following
DESIGN
First review the diagram that shows all of the pertinent dimensions in millimeters you will need to know and use in the program:
*OD (Telescope Outside Diameter) - carefully measure this and add 1mm*
*FilterOD (Filter
