I can make a custom mask for any telescope if you can give me accurate measurements.

These won't be fancy or pretty but they will be functional. I need to finish the 450d and do some testing before I make this an active product. It will give you the option of 12v or 120v A/C if you are in the backyard.

I can do one at a time orders but there will be a $25 setup charge I will have to pass on from the laser cutter. Putting together financing for a laser cutter so I can do one offs cheaper. Canon AC and DC input power supply will be bench tested all day tomorrow, if it passes they will be made available. $99 will be the price and each is hand built one at a time and are not fancy! Pictures tomorrow.

Been running fine for 3 hours now. Took a dozen long exposures to make sure it can handle higher current draw long term.

I will be able to precision cut many plastics and thin woods, paper, cardboard etc. Plastics can't contain chlorine (no teflon or similar plastics). No metal cutting, that takes a different laser. Expect to have it here in about 6 weeks and will post photos!

Have got good feedback on the ones that are in use. From Darkman "By the way, the AT6RC mask fit and worked great!" more from him "Mary, perfect fit on the 111EDT ‘New Version’. With the buttons on, it’s just loose enough that it comes out easy, tight enough it won’t fall out. Call it good and go into production." KDizzle "just fyi -- i used it tonight and it definitely works. just as brain dead as i was hoping for it to be. goodbye hfd and fwhm! thanks!"

Once past the learning curve I will be doing in house production on products up to 12 inches wide and 20 inches long. Larger will still have to be cut outside my shop.

Going to be a week or so before I get some that actually look good but I have 3 that are functional if a bit ugly. So I have a special on 3 AT72ED masks, $10 each plus $5 shipping. The laser cutter: The blue tube is the exhaust to outside. Underneath I have a 16 gallon water tank for cooling along with the exhaust blower and the air pump that blows fumes away from the laser optics. The water pump is a large aquarium style pump that sits in the water tank out of the way. I need to build a box to muffle the sound from the blower and air pump before the noise drives me insane Inside of the beast, laser tube runs across the back and is out of sight, the output is reflected with mirrors to the moving parts. Gave a try at cutting rubylith and it cuts very clean so I can add that to my product list. Send me a drawing with dimensions and I can cut it for you. Smaller items can go in a postal envelope so cheap shipping! Up to 12 inches wide is my max and 20 inches long.
