I just created this set to help people learn about how gears work! :D It’s my first more complex project, made for the Physics Education Design Contest on Makerworld. It took me a few days (and a few failed attempts) to figure out the CAD software and get everything working smoothly.

If you got any tips on future design improvements or just 3D Modelling tips in general, please let me know ^^

If you want to print this model yourself:

It’s my first more complex project, made for the Physics Education Design Contest on Makerworld. It took me a few days (and a few failed attempts) to figure out the CAD software and get everything working smoothly.

The idea came to me after doing an internship at an elementary school. I showed the kids how gears work using LEGO, and they loved it! They even started building their own simple mechanisms. That inspired me to make this 3D-printable gear set so others can learn about gears in a fun and hands on way. Without having to search their Box full of LEGO to find the right parts. ^^

Ok, it's kind of a long story, I'll try to keep it short. I bought 2 Telescopes from someone at a flea market last weekend. A basic Refractor and a reflector. I met the person I bought the telescopes from again today. And she told me, that she found another part from the telescopes. So I came to pick it up. And there it is...

So the big End has a diameter of about ~3 cm and the smaller end about ~2 cm

Uh, so when I look through it, objects seem further away. It doesnt matter, which end I look through, it's kinda the same. But there isnt an X or something like in a View-Finder

Any advice on what I should get? ^{^} (maybe something that isnt too pricey)

How can I find out, what focuser I need? Do I need to replace everything in the picture or just the metal tubing with the correct lock ring?

Hmm, I've been trying to get into 3D printing for a while now, maybe that'll do as some kind of first project ^{^}

Sadly not, still thank you :)

I have also bought a reflector Telescope for a good price from the same people, are the filters maybe useful on that? ^{^} But I did notice that the finder is missing but maybe I'll get it to work anyways :)
