Hey everyone,

Rings for my Celestron were quite expensive - and were going to take ages to get here from the US. So I did the only logical thing and printed them off! I think it turned out quite well - Used about 40 grams of plastic (or $1.60 worth) for each half, so all up will cost me about $6 for a full set of rings!

Printed with 0.4mm layer height to get the prints done nice and quick - highest resolution is 0.1mm layers and they're virtually invisible then!
