Flexaret Lens Hood

thingiverse

This is a lens hood for the Flexaret VI and VII TLR cameras employing the B36 two lug bayonet mount. It will not work on earlier Flexaret TLR cameras (Flexaret II through Va) which use the 30mm press on accessories. This is a remix from the excellent Yashica/Rollei Bay1 Hood developed by ANALOGcursader (thing 4358117). I recommend printing with the square end of the hood up and the bayonet in contact with the base. No supports or rafts were necessary on my machine. Printing at 0.2mm resolution should work fine, but I print with Adaptive Layers (0.12mm to 0.2mm). I printed with 4 walls as I wanted a solid part. Recommend printing in PLA or some material that allows for painting the interior of the hood flat black. The lugs may require a tiny bit of filing on the outside to fit, but this cap is secure when installed. Again, thanks to ANALOGcursader for the excellent TLR hood geometry!
