Filter Cartridge Progress
While waiting for focuser pieces in the mail, I’m working on the filter cartridges:
A few new features. First, chamfers around the edges. Second, finger holes at the top to help with screwing/unscrewing filters. Third, pattern on the triangular corner to help with grip and distinguish cartridges (and therefore filters) in the dark. Cartridges will come in six corner configs:
- smooth on top, smooth sides
- smooth on top, indented sides
- ridges on top, smooth sides
- ridges on top, indented sides (shown)
- indented top, smooth sides
- indented top, indented sides
This allows for 6 pairs of filters that can be distinguished in the dark without a flashlight.
… and to remember which filter went into which cartridge… 🙂
Yes, this evolved into just creating labels that glow in the dark: https://www.instagram.com/p/BuanKnhg_Z2/
This way you don’t have to remember which is which!
