! ! ! - Warning - ! ! !
Never look into the sun, never point a telescope into the sun, the sun is evil. The smallest gap in the filter or adapter may cause you to go blind instantly. No fun!

Here we go again. Sorry for the irregular updates. I decided to publish this as soon as I printed the first prototype in order to improve on it with feedback of others (and to get it out there for people looking for something like this).

A member of an astronomy chat was going to make a solar filter with cardboard or hardware-store material, but I suggested that I could try making one with my printer.

This one consists of four parts:

-top lid (to protect the foil)
-foil fixation ring, threaded
-main mount
-bottom lid

It clips to the telescope, tested on a 4" maksutov telescope. It fits tight, does not scratch the tube, and is easily removed.

The top lid uses a simple threaded mechanism, the bottom lid attaches to the mounting clips.

I tried decreasing wall thickness to make it cheaper, and some parts could still be thinned further.
Also note that I cut off the circle so it will fit on a 14x14cm build plattform even though the diameter is a bit bigger
