Lens cap holder v2 for 52 and 58mm cap

thingiverse

Hello, I've been searching online for a while now to find the perfect lenscap holder in 3D print format. Unfortunately, none of them met my requirements, so I decided to create one myself. Here is my new design for a lenscap holder that can accommodate two types of caps: 58mm and 52mm. It's specifically designed for Canon camera straps and can be printed in 3D. You can check out the dimensions on the technical drawings below (thickness: 4mm). As you can see, I used Autodesk Inventor to finish the design before printing it in my local fablab, which has access to 3D printers. The first prototype showed some weaknesses, particularly with regards to the attachment points for the camera strap. So, I created a second version that is fully functional and durable. Here are some photos of the lenscap holder and its adaptation with a 58mm cap securely attached. You can also use a 52mm cap in the smaller hole. I printed the two lenscap holders using an Ultimaker 2 in just one hour, which costs approximately $3 per unit - a very reasonable price. For printing, I used the following settings in Cura: The STL files for printing are available below and can be used for personal or family purposes only. Please don't use them commercially.
