A couple of you have mentioned the Bahtinov mask for use in photographing stars. Here's an stl code for a 150mm mask which can be easily resized in Cura when generating the gcode file for printing. A png is included showing the mask. The mask will also work if 2D printed on clear media (not translucent) making a film version which can be placed in front of a lens. The stl will result in a flat (2mm thick) mask which may need a retainer rim to hold it for a given lens. If sized properly, it will fit in a filter ring (use a spare UV or Haze filter).

Thanks to arach101 for putting me on to Fusion360 which was used to generate the mask. Fusion360 is free if you go through all the registration process and declare yourself an educational or hobby user, but it's not the smartest program on the block in some ways and is a bear to use offline because it takes so long to boot (not fast booting on line either). It is however, a very useful and feature filled 3D modeling program which converts generated models to stl format easily. Those can then be used directly in Cura to create the gcode files for many 3D printers.

I printed this K-mount to telescope eyepiece adapter a few months ago. I did a bit of testing and it works, although the resulting photos are just okay. Which I should probably expect using my kid's $50 400mm equivalent telescope.

Amazing things to make. This is a very useful compilation. Thanks or the work you put into making this list.

Addition:

16. Pentax 560mm lens foot

...what I ended up doing is design a replacement foot for the lens to lower it that 1 1/2" and move the center of the foot to the balance center of the lens with a K-3 mounted to the lens. Whew! That was long winded.
I have the prototype ordered and if that works out I'm curious as to how many others see the need for a replacement foot.
I have an OLD Takamar 500mm lens and what my new 560 foot does (will do) is bring the lens center down to the height of the 500mm. I have added a picture of my design. Please don't steal it.

Another addition which I will put up on Thingiverse - Pentax K1000 grip. If the base plates are the same as the KM or KX or K2 it will fit those as well. Given the weight of the camera I thought that it would be useful to have a bit more skin contact so this grip fits the palm and the outer three fingers. I used ABS filament and a higher resolution print setting so there is no flexing but still very light.











(If you download you will need to redrill the tripod hole. The simple program I was using left vestigial infill as the design process developed.)

I found this little gadget on STLFinder. Only uses the standard battery so you don't get more run time but still could be handy.
