Extend the lens → apply hot glue onto “body” → stick “body” to the lens → retract the lens → hold until the glue has cooled down. &nbsp;Double sided tape also works well and you can create spares if parts come off.</li></ol><p>Warning:</p><p>During unscrewing “filter” you may unscrew whole lens end cap that protects lens cover mechanism. You can screw it back without problem but be careful not to destroy small plastic tabs that holds it in place.<img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/172091/rich_content/18a0bdc2-81e8-44bc-914c-76f04e205fa8/pxl_20220416_111040343.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22a1e984b1-7348-49b3-9f37-29904a0fdb57%22%2C%22w%22%3A3475%2C%22h%22%3A2535%7D"></p>
