Description

The Hubble space telescope was the first in orbit observatory launched in 1990 and still active today. Hubble is the only telescope designed to be maintained in space by astronauts. Five Space Shuttle missions have repaired, upgraded, and replaced systems on the telescope.

For the perfect build… (optional) … you will need the following items

*18 8mmx2mm(amazon) magnets if you wanna take it back apart
Glue of your choice
*200mm Concave lens(amazon) this will allow projector to broadcast bigger
Some sort of light source
- I've had good luck with tea lights and single LEDs
- Multiple LEDs can distort the image disc, but that may be what your looking for
Download my Printable Moon Shelf to display it on

Make your own projection discs

Just make a disc with a 49.5mm diameter and height of 2mm
Blank disc in raw model files
I printed mine with only one wall

Colors Used

Gray, Silver, White, Gold, Red, Black

To save on color changes the included jig allows for cutting of filament to correct length and then be inserted in the bottom portion of the model.

Printing

The attached print profile has all the parts sorted and painted to minimize color changes and waste
Most of the plates are .16 layer but the larger pieces and the stand are .2 layer height

Assembly

Assembly is pretty straight forward and you can glue the doors on however you like
I would print all parts and place magnets first for easiest assembly
The Solar panels and sat dishes are just friction fit to the arms so you can position them how ever you need

The lens can be press fit in the cap

This took about 4 hours to build. Everything spins and moves as it should. Beautiful model! It will live in my backyard observatory 🛰

Thanks! It's a copper/gold dual silk. It's deeper color than the gold I have.

Thanks for the print and photo

@zeee3d

I am very interested in printing this. Does the picture projection work well with the Bambu LED Lamp Kit 001?

The designer has replied

@RynosaurusRex

I don't have a light kit yet so I'm not sure how the projection will look with it. It worked well with the tea lights I had on-hand so i would think it would look good. Remember for large projections you will need a lens.

@zeee3d

Replying to @RynosaurusRex :

Thanks. I will be ordering the lens you linked in the description.

I've tried Bambu LED kit. Not so good. I think it's better to use a single LED.

@baumgart05

hallo könnten sie bitte vielleicht ein BAT Signal bauen das aussieht wie das aus der Serie

@RynosaurusRex

I'm unsure what logo you are referring to. I included a blank disk in the raw model files so you can cut whatever logo you like from it.

Replying to @RynosaurusRex :

ich meinte nicht die Diskette. ich meinte das Gehäuse, ob sie das wie Batman Scheinwerfer aussehen lassen können mit ihrer Diskette. damit der Abstand und alles andere auch passt.

https://makerworld.com/en/models/116242#profileId-130816 ....ich hab das gedruckt, Diffusor nur als 1 Layer in Clear PETG gedruckt und es projiziert mit einer LED aus einer Makita Akkutaschenlampe geschlachtet an die Decke mit gut 2 Meter Entfernung; hatte es aber nur just for fun getestet. Ich hab Final, ein esp8266 mit einer kleinen LED-Platine über die Onboard Stromversogung verbaut, damit ich es über das Handy schalten kann. Muss nur gut aussehen und den Sohn ein optisches Signal zum "Essen kommen" geben wenn er am PC ist; und nicht Batman rufen bei mir. Mit extra Spannungsquelle für die LED geht das aber auch heller, wenn man möchte.

@shadicblackbelt

Great model just a heads up the Bambu lab light kit doesn’t work well for the projecter discs I makes the image insanely blurry so go with something else
