Automotive lens reconstruction

A long, slim oval lens cover for a car light that's cracked or gone missing. It has a gentle dome on top and a fine groove running just inside the edge, where a seal or mating part could sit. Change the rim height and wall thickness to match your light.

Good to know

  • Values past X=+30 are my smooth continuation, because your table was cut off. Rim height, side-to-side fullness and channel position are guesses, each on a slider on the Adjust tab.
  • A thin curved shell can't print without support on one face. Plan on supports under the rear and a brim, roughly 12 g extra.
