270 degrees Magnetic Flip Open Scope Cover

cults3d

Given feedback on my print in place scope covers, I designed a magnetic flip open scope cover, which has 270 degrees of movement, so it lays flush with the scope when opened. Print in place design here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/hinged-magnetic-flip-open-scope-cover-print-in-place The package contains 50 sizes for scopes that are most popular on the market ("ID" in the filename stands for the inner dimesion of the scope cover). If you do not find your desired size in the package, message me and I will design one for your specific needs (measure with calipers, and add 0.05-0.1 mm for tight fit). Six 2x1 mm circular magnets are pressed into slots in the lid to hold the cover closed, as well as into the hinge to hold it open. I found the best way to put them in place is to press them into the lid, connect the opposing magnets, and then carefully close and press on the cover to sit the other side. The hinge magnets can be a bit tricky, so I suggest marking the polarity with a marker, as they tend to rotate. For the hinge itself, put a string of 1.75 filament joining the two pieces. You can melt the outside as shown on the pictures.
