Glasses / Frames for prescription or shaded lenses

thingiverse

My friend broke his glasses, but fortunately, the lenses were still intact. I quickly designed these frames that can easily clip in his existing prescription lenses. You could put any lenses you like, as long as they fit perfectly. I've included an image showing the precise measurements. The arm hinges are connected to the frames by simply threading a 1cm piece of paper clip through the hinge and applying a small drop of glue to the top hole. Three small clips need to be glued on after printing, which create slots for the lenses to sit within, preventing them from falling out. I've included an image pointing out exactly where each one goes. These can simply be secured with a tiny drop of super glue. The base of the frames is designed to flex, making it easy to put in or take out the lenses while still keeping them secure once in place. To print all the necessary files, you'll need: * 1 x Frames * 1 x Arms * 2 x Clip bottom * 2 x Clip nose * 2 x Clip side For assembly, you'll also require: * Super glue or a similar adhesive * 2 x 1cm off-cuts from a paper clip for the hinges * Optionally, something soft to glue to the nose bridge for added comfort or to raise how high they sit on your nose. I used some cotton from cigarette filters. I didn't use any supports or brim during printing as it ruins the finish. Instead, I simply applied a glue stick to the bed to ensure the thinner parts remained stuck down throughout the print. It took me about 1 hour to print a complete set and around 15 minutes to attach the arms and glue on the 6 clips. I've included obj files and FreeCAD files if you want to make any modifications.
