About this 3D model

These are solar concentrators for cylinder-shaped absorbers. These were designed for a 6mm radius tube (I ended up using a 1/2"). There are two troughs, one with a 45 degree acceptance angle (shorter one) and the other with a 25 degree acceptance angle (taller one). They are about 1 foot long (300mm).
