NatGeo 70/400 long lens hood

thingiverse

For my first upload I present a long lens hood for the National Geographic 70/400 Telescope. https://explorescientificusa.com/products/national-geographic-70mm-refractor-telescope-with-panhandle-mount-rt70400 I saw it going for $50 at Sam's Club and couldn't control myself, so I got it today and went right into upgrading certain parts. First I saw quite a bit of light reflecting off of the included lens hood so I thought a longer one might do some justice to this nice little telescope. The lens hood simply slides in, as seen in one of the pictures it didn't go all the way since it's quite tight, but still fits and wont come loose easily. I printed it out of PETG (which might not be the best option since it's shiny) and designed it to use the least amount of material as possible. That being said, make sure you have no layer adhesion issues, since it's so thin it might brake between the layers if not printed properly or mishandled.
