About this model

This is a project that I have been working on for some time, after I was inspired by a previous post on here a few years ago converting a PVS-14 (MX-10160) tube to fit into a PVS-7 housing for binoviewing. As someone who also enjoys using their PVS-7 terrestrially (you can't do this with a permanent 10160 tube because the image will be flipped upside down), permanently modifying my housing was not an option. So, I have created a drop-in, hotswappable solution for taking your 10160 tube and placing it in your PVS-7 housing. This makes swapping between an MX-10160 tube for astronomy and a MX-10130 tube for terrestrial viewing a process that takes under a minute. All you need for this project is access to a 3D printer, copper foil tape, and a soldering station, preferably with adjustable temp…
