MattGyver Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hey guys. I have officially published my Instructable (and 3D printing files) to make an OpenScope digital monocular. It looks like it's even been featured. Instructable:https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Digital-Night-Vision-The-OpenScope/ Thingiverse Files:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2121014 If you don't have access to a 3D printer, there are lots of printing services that might be a better option. 3DHubs for example (https://www.3dhubs.com/) is one such service that links customers with real people (near you) who own and operate a 3D printer and have established themselves as a hub. The site has more information if you're curious. Other than printing, the electronics and the rest of the hardware should cost well under $200, which is what you would shell out for one of the Chinese digital PVS-14's, which are often hard to find. The OpenScope can also input and output a video signal to and from the optic as well, so you can see FPV feed from a drone, send footage to a recording device (or to your CO as part of an OP), and the lovely HUD stuff I've discussed in the other thread with the arduino Video Experimenter Shield (http://nootropicdesign.com/ve/). I'll also repeat that I've unfortunately made a conscious decision to remove any and all mounting interfaces on the enclosure of the OpenScope to avoid risking violation of ITAR or USML federal regulations on sharing 3D printed files of designs that could be under government control. I lost a lot of sleep worrying about it. Since a lot of that stuff is way over my head, I decided to play it safe and skirt the whole thing and just publish it as a handheld. Anyways. I hope you find it intriguing. I was just glad to finally get it published. I'll try to update it when I can. -MG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
