Collimate a reflector telescope
A sight cap for collimating a Newtonian telescope: push it into the 1.25-inch focuser and look through the centre pinhole to line up the mirrors.
Prints as shown on its floor, no supports. Stacked parts are fused into one print.
Filament: at most about 11.6 g of PLA printed solid (roughly $0.23 at $20 per kg); normal infill uses less.
