Analog Sky Magic Self-Print Kit + Course
NOTE 11/27: 50mm mirrors are back in stock!
If you’re looking to 3D print components yourself, this combo kit contains everything else you need to build Analog Sky Magic! Self-print kits are made to order and currently may take up to a week to build and ship.
This kit includes:
Analog Sky Magic Course Lifetime Access
Magic Optics Kit
Magic Hardware Kit
Magic Extras Kit
23mm Eyepieces
Magic Labels
Just add your tripod!
Eyepieces: The self-print 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.
Hobby Knife (Fiskars Heavy Duty Detail Knife)
Snips (Hakko-CHP-170)
Nitrile Gloves
Eye Protection (For kids, goggles)
Isopropyl (Rubbing) Alcohol 70%+
