TNC225R flip lens cover

Keeps the front of a lens covered, then flips out of the way when you want to shoot, so there's no loose cap to lose in a bag. The lid swings on a small hinge pin at the back and has a tab at the front to lift it with a thumb. Change the housing diameter to match your lens.

Good to know

  • The 44 mm housing diameter is my estimate, not a measurement of your scope. Measure across the front of the lens housing and set the slider before printing.
  • The report shows a small 7 mm³ overlap between the sleeve and the housing. It is deliberate: the 8 grip ribs squeeze the housing by about 0.15 mm per side to hold the sleeve on. Use the Grip squeeze slider if it fits too tight or too loose.
  • The report also flags 8 thin ledges on the sleeve. These are the tops of the grip ribs, and they are cosmetic.
  • The hinge, fit and flip motion are untested in real life. The report only checks geometry.
