Summary

A nice, large (10"/255 mm) astrolabe based on the ones used in the 13th-16th centuries by mariners to find their latitude.

WARNING: DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN THROUGH THE PINHOLES!

I recommend printing the mother board and the alidade in contrasting colors to make it easier to read the angle.

The mother board uses roughly 174 g of filament.

The alidade (pointer) uses about 17 g of filament.
