Summary

This is a 3D printed, compact Newtonian travel telescope for 114/900mm primary and max. 50x35mm secondary mirror. To make it work you'll need some inexpensive common hardware, cyanoacrylate to glue everything together, a standard Sky-Watcher 2" focuser and a Vixen dovetail bar with 2x6mm holes.

The tolerances on the holes are tight to ensure rigidity, I recommend cleaning them up with a drill before assembly.

I have also added a choice for curved secondary mirror assembly to eliminate diffraction spikes and a sturdier middle joint parts as an option.
