Mini Telescope Kit Card

Ever wanted to build your own telescope—without the glass and the hassle?
This Mini Telescope Kit Card is a fun little project for makers, painters, and astronomy fans alike.

 

🔹 Four Versions are available:

 

Single Kit Card – Fully colored Version
Looks fantastic with detailed color parts! It takes longer to print and uses more material (because of the many color changes), but the results are worth it.

 

Single Color Painters’ Version
Prints in under 2 hours using only 19 g of filament. Perfect if you just want a quick build at virtually no cost, or if you enjoy painting your models afterward.

 

Fully Colored Split Version
The kit is split into 4 separate cards, sorting the parts by their main color. This loses the flair of the single card print but saves on AMS waste without compromising the look of the model itself.

 

Simplified Colored Split Version
The kit is split into 4 separate cards, sorting the parts by color. The parts were also reduced to their main color, eliminating the need for an AMS completely. However, some colorful details are lost.

 

 

🔹 No Glue Required!
The entire design is made to fit together without a single drop of glue. Tolerances at this small scale are tricky, but after lots of prototyping and fine-tuning, I’m confident it’ll work reliably. Just make sure to cut the parts cleanly from the kit card with a sharp knife to keep tolerances intact.

 

 

🔹 Easy Assembly
There’s a detailed step-by-step assembly guide available, so you won’t get lost along the way. Make sure to download the right one, as there are two versions: one for the single card kits and one for the split versions.
