About this model
A contraption to observe the sun, quickly made to make it before the 2026 eclipse. It's a 1m by 60mm board with a binocular attached on one side and a screen on the other. The board is then attached to a tripod. Here are the 3d printed files I designed for the purpose. The mount and screw for the cheap Lidl 10x50 binoculars (IAN 298137). The screen is made of two pieces of plywood at exactly 90 degrees. I made it slidable over the board, but to avoid losing the straight angles there are two pieces of wood connected to the one piece of plywood so that the board fits between them. The screen after adjusting it is held by a clamp. And on the screen part there's a white bristol, also held by clamps.
