Great job with the 3D printing! Looks amazing! But do you worry about thermal expansion throwing off the mirror alignment? Also, I think I would use epoxy instead of hot glue to hold the mirrors in place. Very expensive if the hot glue should give out.
Beautiful job! You did it because you can, I get that. I'm a search the clasifieds treasure hunter myself but I thoroughly enjoyed your video. So impressed to see those excellent real eyepiece images too not layered computer images. A testament to the outstanding precision of your build! Nice!
@@alanwatts8239 i was told a minimum of 8 inches aka 200mm is a starting point for a Newtonian style telescope for planets. but I'm not an expert either, so maybe the 150mm could?
@@patprop74 A 150mm is the bare minimum for observing nebulae and planets with details, you can see saturn and the rings, you just won't see it close like you would in a cassini picture. It also helps to observe when it's cold outside, in a high place and away from bright lights.
@@alanwatts8239 indeed, I'm in Canada so by the time I get mine started and finish lol Trust me it will be cold haha I am however doing it on a very tight budget and I'm reduced to try to make with China-made D203F800 glass set for all i know i might not even be able to see the moon much less a nebulae loll But nonetheless will be fun to make.
Very sadly you obviously won't share your 3D printer files with the community ... why? And some advice: NEVER would use HOT GLUE to glue the mirrors with your parts. NEVER EVER give optical glass such a stress with temperture!!! This could seriously damage and minder the quality of your mirror. Use small drops of silicone instead.

Very nice project. You get really nice pictures of the planets with your telescope. It has been a little over two years since you posted so I hope you built a motorized mount with an arduino controller for your mount. Back in the seventies, I lived in Marbella for many years. Back when it was a sleepy little village. Now, it is a big, fast paced city that does not look very friendly anymore.
Hi, If anyone is interested, I published a book called "Making Technique for Large Diameter Concave Mirror, Convex Mirror, and Thin-Sided Lens" on Rakuten Kobo E-Book platform. In the book, molding silicone, clear epoxy (or clear plastic resin), polyurethane, air pumping tool, air vacuum tool, wood chips, mirror spray, acetate paper, etc. I mentioned the methods that will allow you to produce meters of diameter using. In this way, you will have the knowledge and experience that you can carry out your projects for astronomy and solar energy in a practical way. Have a nice day.

This is not a DIY project. Most of the parts are telescope parts and pieces. A high-end 3D printer making graphite parts. Just order a telescope it's much easier and cheaper.
Very nice collapsible scope. But if you're going to buy commercial optics, you may as well buy a scope. The real advantage to building a scope is making higher quality optics than are available commercially.
mahmoud fatthy little bit expensive... with 1000 pounds that u pay on the 12 inch mirror u buy a fully equipped 12 inch dobson telescope and still have money for a good eyepiece
That's cool, now attach several dozen sugar rocket engines made with powdered sugar and potasium nitrate fertilizer and ignite them once the weather balloons carry assembly to the top of the atmosphere...
Awesome project! How big is your 3d printer? I made the same kind of telescope 12 years ago. Almost exactly the same design. I wanted to build one again after seeing this. But my 3d printer is too small to print the secondary mirror frame.
Would have been useful to list the 3d printer used, filament consumed, printer template, link to where the mirror can be purchased and price of all of the above
Pro tip, dont aim it at the sun. Because you will burn your lenses. Thats just a tip for people watching. I know from a experience my friend built a similiar telescope and we just for fun aimed it at the sun and in like 5 minutes it was smoking :D
Im sorry but in 9:24 1000x magnification is not posibble for this telescope even if you will have dobsonian 18 inch telescope with perfect conditions for observation you not able to get 1000x :) soo everyone who thought its really 1000x need to read something about telescopes. :D
Samual Whittemore ehhh i just wanted to say that at 1000x the saturn will be very dark at it will looks like a dark dot yes with binoculars and telescopes you will see saturns rings but not with 1000x at least if it is not a huge telescope, in big telescopes it will looks beautiful if atmosphere will be stable
really awesome and impressive do it yourself telescope, awesome !! it would be nice if you still make the same telescope but bigger, like 8 "or 10" or then you make 6 "or 8" full tube telescope.
hi! what are the specifications of lens/laser , diameter for the telescope body, list of the stuffs used, etc? im creating this for my science project, and i need the specifications. Thankyou so much!
How to make the most powerful "portable" telescope at home? Maximum length should not cross 6 feet - Maximum times optical zoom that can be obtained at this length (pushed to the limit/threshold) - A video guide of this kind would be very much awaited many for sure!
good video, but in case of the telescope itself, no explanations, for example how do you change zoom?, where do you position the secondary mirror? and why?
"Make at home" if you have 3D printer and a workshop at your home...
Иван Попов u can make without a printer, just need some basic tools. What were you expecting to make one with spatula and egg beater?
Иван Попов 😂😂😂😂
Made my first dobsonian about 30 years ago with a jig saw and some plywood.

Doesn t matter anyways there is no way a six-inch can see Saturn like the why he shown it.

I am in awe of the design! It's light, it's collapsible, it's simple.
your video is very limited, no verbal description, no list for equipment yet so long
STFU
no stfu, its true, we dont have the 3d printer files, the mirrors used and the equipment, idk why
The original video name is "Como Hacer un Potente Telescopio Casero - (Experimentar En Casa)"
this is a spanish channel, they have to take the spanish out for you english viewers
Please tell required things
And where do I get that
And lens size also please

If you want to find out hardly anything about how to make a telescope , I can recommend this video.
Excellent build, shame the top comment thumbs up is a negative one, you don't deserve that
How many of you are just watching this for fun, time pass, and entertainment and not for making anything
most of us
I would LOVE to have this telescope!
Ofcourse absolutely we have 3d printer at our homes all of us great job. This project %100 applicable in home. 👏🏼

thanks i will surely make it❤❤👌👌
Well done bro. Amazing job.
wonderful! Congratulations for the work. Where can I find the 3d files?
Yes, all of us have stemp machine at home...
Thanks you so much ! Where did you bought your main and second mirors please ?
And thus, a legend was born
Rebuild another telescope with a music to sleep, good luck
Awesome and really good video. The rushes are perfect.
Your project looks really nice. A 6 inch is good enough for some views and a good feeling to see what you built :D
amazing ! if you use a bigger diameter tube and mirror would the end result be better ? is it doable within a reasonable budget ?
Wow great work.. I too wanna build.. But i where do i get those mirror???i really need those mirror..
Beautiful scope and clever collapsing design fot portability. Just nervous to use hot glue for the main mirror.
What model of 3D printer are you using and if you could share the link for mirrors and other parts (where to get them ?)
Very Good....Muito bom...Professional Assembly..Congratulations..Montagem profissional...Parabéns,,,
Nice first video
Nice job👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very nice!!! Any step by step and list to buy?? I'm interested to build it!!
got any links to the mirrors please , i cant find any

i was hoping for a tutorial on slapping some mirror inside a plastic tube or pipe lol. This looks building a hubble haha.
Grand Turismo music, gotta love it
Good work-ship and the final result. However the eyepiece fabrication is not shown in detail. Does the eyepiece have a convex/concave lens?
WOW. AMAZING JOB!!!!
Wow drills a hole with his hand right behind the target area. Very smart
Im sorry but in 9:24 1000x magnification is not posibble for this telescope even if you will have dobsonian 18 inch telescope with perfect conditions for observation you not able to get 1000x :) soo everyone who thought its really 1000x need to read something about telescopes. :D
Digitaly magnified to x1000
Ra Leo at 1000x you will see just dot then saturn
MICHARU RL What I mean is that he took a normal picture with telescope with its magnification power and then zoomed digitaly to make a total of 1000x
MICHARU RL WHAT?? I have (3) 10x binoculars that I put end to end -- I can see Saturn's rings without any problem at all! ...some people! Ugh!
Samual Whittemore ehhh i just wanted to say that at 1000x the saturn will be very dark at it will looks like a dark dot yes with binoculars and telescopes you will see saturns rings but not with 1000x at least if it is not a huge telescope, in big telescopes it will looks beautiful if atmosphere will be stable
Beautiful build
How did the hot glue work on the mirrors? I'm building a 160mm f8 reflector. Thanks for the video
I used 3M VHB tape
really awesome and impressive do it yourself telescope, awesome !! it would be nice if you still make the same telescope but bigger, like 8 "or 10" or then you make 6 "or 8" full tube telescope.
hi! what are the specifications of lens/laser , diameter for the telescope body, list of the stuffs used, etc? im creating this for my science project, and i need the specifications.

Is the objective mirror parabolic/concave or just a plain mirror?
Concave. You can buy the set of those 2.

i just wish that the materials are listed on the description
they aren't.
could I change the eyepiece if I want better planets for me to see
Which camera did you used to click the photo?
Very good work
will you share your awesome 3d printing files? it would be greatly appreciated
take it as a NO
Yeah no kidding lol the dude used hot glue too which makes him a jerk... Cool people use epoxy

really amazing.... good work...
Superb!

The song is extremely soothing. But you're supposed to grind your own mirror!
Hi,thanks for your favourite video,I have a question,if there is a little or no concave mirroring point there will be no problem?
Idk how the laws on this are around the world but in Germany it's a serious crime pointing a laser pointer at the sky
I just asked jonny to bring 3d printer from my bedroom from drawer.. i can make this at home so easily. Lolz.
3D printers are getting pretty cheap
@@ethorii true bro.. but not in India..specially in pandemic..🤣
if we increase the diameter of the primary mirror will we get a more sharper image?
and where can i get these parts?
Bro where I supposed to get this part even I can't find it online
what is the focal length of the mirrors??
good video. :3
nice and quiet
I Need lens buying links🤗
Also the lens specifications
Great work!
What kind of mirror did you used is it a concave or convex mirror
Oh my God! That's super great❤️
Do you have the STL files? I try to print the gcodes that you share but I hve a diferent 3D printer. Thanks
hello, did you get the stl files?
Hi dear where did you get focus assembly and primary mirror and secondary mirror ?
The focus er is easily obtained there are links to the mirrors above but are dammed expensive
How do you get the lenses to fit your design?
Does the big mirror really must need a stand to stay on or can i tape it on... And do i need the eyepiece to look thrugh
You want to take a 1000 dollar mirror on ? are you insane ?
This costs atleast 225$
For this we can buy a 130mm telescope. But anyway wemust appreciate his effort snd skills. Well done.
how are you
I want to know the details of making the telescope, please, the lenses, the mirrors, and the full measurements of everything, thank you
good video, but in case of the telescope itself, no explanations, for example how do you change zoom?, where do you position the secondary mirror? and why?
this'll be a fun project I love a challenge
Wow tats really easy to make!!!!! wOw
