I built a Hadley, and it's pretty amazing. I have seen the rings of Saturn with it- and the moon- WOW. Here's a video I did about it: https://www.youtube.com/w

Also wrote it up on my website, which has a link to the Hackaday article I wrote on it: https://miscdotgeek.com/3d-printing-the-hadley-114mm-newtonian-telescope/ https://miscdotgeek.com/3d-printing-the-hadley-114mm-newtoni...
I still need to build a proper base for it. Balancing it on a chair or some other thing is just no good. It needs to move smoothly. What you think you know, don't realize how pronounced it is until you're watching through a decent telescope, is that the cosmos are on the move!
- yehoshuapw 1y agoI see you wrote you used PETG - would you recommend it, or would you have done it again in PLA? (due to accuracy.)
- geocrasher 1y agoIt worked fine, no regrets. It's more stable for outdoor use, so that is why I went with it. I've printed exclusively with PETG.
