NEJE Max 4 E80: Building a homemade telescope with just a laser and a 3D printer

Join me as we go through the process of building a homemade telescope. Using mirror from one of my old scopes. I rebuild a 6" F/10 Newtonian telescope using a NEJE engraver/cutter and a Prusa 3D printer.

Looking really nice, just got my max 4 a few weeks ago. Subscribed and looking forward to learning. Thank you for the videos

[@reedinspace2286]

Great! By all means if you learn something new about machine, I'd like to know about it.

[@hedleypepper1838]

A true work of art, thank you 😊

[@reedinspace2286]

I would highly recommend fixing the single channel audio at the beginning. Even if you record in single channel most software lets you duplicate it. For me personally hearing only through my right ear is very un pleasant.

[@reedinspace2286]

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely look at fixing that.
