The stock color is Violet (from California Filament). For an additional $30 you can order a custom color from the list. We order the filament after you place your order, so this adds 3-5 business days to the production time. Color choice is for the primary color only. We choose accent colors to compliment the primary color. If you would like a monotone (single-color) build, please let us know in the checkout comments and keep in mind some black elements will show through. (Internal components must be black for optical performance.)
3D Printed Parts: Parts are printed in-house at Analog Sky. Some parts like focusers are printed at finer resolution for smoother motion. Some parts are printed with more infill or walls for strength. We review each part to ensure it meets our quality standards.
Please keep in mind, 3D printing sometimes has minor surface blemishes, which are considered normal. We reject some parts due to blemishes (particularly external parts you’ll see) but minor surface imperfections are to be expected with 3D printed parts. Some cleanup of wispy filaments may be required.
Colors: Choosing a custom color means the exterior shell and some accessories will be printed in Polymaker PolyLite PETG. Here are the color swatches they provide for their filaments: (black, white, grey, blue, red, green, yellow, teal, orange, purple, dark blue, dark green, silver, gold, magenta, pink, lime, electric blue, dark gray, dark purple)
Eyepieces: The full kit includes two eyepieces, currently the Svbony 23mm 62 degree aspheric eyepiece. This is a very basic starter eyepiece that provides 10x magnification at 5mm exit pupil. We recommend reviewing the “Eyepieces” lesson in the Gather section of the Magic course for a full discussion of eyepiece choices.
Optics: The optics kit provides f/4.5 (225mm focal length) objective lenses with pre-blackened edges and 50mm mirrors guaranteed 1/4 wave PV or better. This provides a maximum magnification of 75x using 3mm eyepieces.
Tripod: The full kit does not include a tripod. See the “Tripod” lesson in the Gather section of the Magic course.
Laser: We do not currently offer the optional laser module as part of the kit. If you’d like to build the laser, you will need:
1 Quarton Laser Module VLM-520-73 LPA (LPA is critical)
1 CR2 Battery
Thin Wire Stripper (DOWELL 22-30 AWG Wire Stripper)
Electrical Tape
Tools and Supplies: You will still need some common tools and supplies beyond what is supplied in the kit.
