Baffle for Spectrometer 3.0

Sometimes, scattered light can degrade the contrast of the spectrum, particularly if you are observing a very bright source.

To minimize this, I made a papercraft baffle for Spectrometer 3.0. Just print out the attached pdf file. Cut it out, assemble it, then attach it to the bench with the leftover Velcro.

I think this should be added to the spectrometer kit.

Hi, Forrest -- looks like your main image didn't work -- actually the site can't convert a PDF into a lead image, but if you'd like, I could screenshot the PDF's lead image and upload that (I'm an admin) -- or you could do it yourself.
