This is a telescope build around a PVC tube. It uses components available in any hardware store, a set of two telescope mirrors and some 3d printed pieces.

F=750mm
D=150mm
F/D=5

This was a 2020 summer project, it took me a lot of time. I do not recomment you to use this design (it takes a lot of time and some parts are not finished). This is not a finished project, the blueprints are messy. For example I think that the focuser I have designed is not very good...
But I am posting it on Thingiverse to share my ideas and to give an example for people who wants to build there own telescope. I think that the design of the primary and secondary mirror cells are quite good.

I'll try to post some instructions in the following weeks
