Description
"I have made an eyepiece for a telescope using the old lenses from Google Cardboard. The lenses should be inserted with the rounded part facing towards the ends, leaving the flatter parts looking towards the center. You need to set up the 3D printer to pause at the exact moment to insert the lens. Make sure when inserting the second lens that they are clean and free from any printing residue or hairs, as accessing the interior becomes impossible once the printing is completed. The experience of looking through a telescope with these lenses gives a sensation that is superior to typical lenses found in inexpensive telescopes (around 20mm fov). If you have old Cardboard VR lenses and a telescope, you can give it a try and share your thoughts!"
