3D Printing Projects: Design, Printing, Implementation 1.25" Extension Tube Project Updated 1/13/19

 This was my first attempt at making a knurled ring on a tube. It worked great, and printed very nicely. This allows a one inch extension to any eyepice or camera, especially good for the planetary cameras I use for shooting the sun and planets. Two nylon screws hold the occulars securely.

 The extension tube next to a 4.8mm Nagler eyepiece.

 Eyepiece inserted, and ready to go! This then would go in the telescope focuser or back of the barlow to increase magnification by lengthening the projection distance.
