Meade 14mm UWA Telescope Eyepiece Case

youmagine

I created this case to hold a Meade telescope eyepiece as a test of how well the threads would work and to verify the X/Y calibration of my printer. It was designed using DesignSpark Mechanical (threads, fillets, and chamfers are straightforward). My printed version fits snugly at first, so I widened the inner diameter by 1mm to make it easier to insert and remove the eyepiece. This case will accommodate the eyepiece whether you have the eye guard extended or retracted. It's intended for use with lens caps in place. I sliced the model in Cura and printed it using Coex3D ABS on Son of MegaMax, my recently rebuilt printer, with a 0.4mm extruder nozzle and 0.32mm layers, 20% infill. I omitted support material, brim, and raft altogether.
