DIY Bahtinov Mask

[StevenWhatley]

I wanted a cheap way of replacing bahtinov masks so I made a stencil and cut one out using the Plotter Clutter at work and some HI VIS card..

Works like a dream and virtually cost nothing to replace..

HAPPY DAYS

Show on my ED80PRO but I can make virtually any size as long as I can find the card big enough

I tried 3D printing not so long ago and I see that the design files are pretty small, would it be possible to use yours for my 6SE ? I would just need to make it a bit bigger... pm me if you agree on sharing the file

A simple Y mask sometimes called the lords mask is almost as effective and has the advantage of working on any size scope without redisign and the resultant viewed image is also much brighter.
