1 inch optic (lens, mirror) retriver extractor

thingiverse

This handy tool provides a secure and elegant way to extract or remove a 1 inch optic that stubbornly refuses to leave its holder or lens tube after the bezel or lock ring has been removed. The optic has somehow become stuck to the holder, rather than adhering to the bezel as it should. The tool works by gripping the outside edge of the optic, making it easy to remove. This is especially useful in situations where there isn't enough space to simply reach inside and grab the optic. What's more, the optic is often extremely valuable and fragile, so handling its front or back surface can be a serious mistake. It's essential to avoid touching these sensitive areas at all costs. To print this tool, use a fine setting with PETG, ABS, ABS+, or ABS Pro. If you don't plan on exposing the printed object to extreme temperatures, you can also use PLA or PLA+.
