Light Baffle Adapter for Princeton Instruments CCD Camera

thingiverse

An adapter for two concentric pipes fits the Princeton Instruments Pylon CCD camera's shutter, blocking stray light from reaching the sensor. The outer diameter of the larger pipe is around 114 mm (4.5 inches) and the smaller concentric pipe's outer diameter is approximately 48 mm (1.9 inches). The CAD files were designed for single-extruder 3D printing, requiring no support material. OpenSCAD generated the .stl files, with included .scad files for customization. Due to printer size constraints, the adapter and spacer are divided into three identical segments, with their files provided as well. For minimal internal reflections, print in black plastic if possible; otherwise, use a sharpie pen on exposed surfaces, as done here due to limited black plastic supply.
