3D Printed Spectrographs

[Merlin66]

To encourage and assist amateurs interested in making 3D printed spectrographs, we will prepare a web sub-group for them.
There are at least four concept designs being discussed - Paul's "LowSpec",
John's "Littrow", Christian's "UVEX" and Tony's "TRAGOS".

You are more than welcome to visit and check out this exciting new development in amateur spectroscopy.

Excellent initiative, Ken..

I am sure it will be interesting addition.
I was using 3D printer to make the prism bracket for my SA100 spectrograph, as well as for many other things (and more to be made in the future). 3D printer is fantastic thing, and combined with other traditional tools (to enhance the accuracy) it is simply a must to have & use.

Bojan,
Yes, I think we have to acknowledge the significant work which has been done by the amateurs in his area.
The recent introduction of 3D technology to spectroscopy has given many novices the opportunity to embark on the adventure of spectroscopy.
The more the merrier......
