Nauticam Zoom Gear for Nikon 16-35mm lens

thingiverse

This is a Zoom Gear for the 16-35mm Nikon lens for use with a Nauticam n120 type housing. I tested with D850 and Z8 housings, but it should work with any similar model.The gear is a two part design, inspired by the original Nauticam part that costs >$200 usd. A solid gear made of PLA+ and a flexible sleeve of TPU. The TPU ring will print in a ring. Remove the original rubber grip. Test the fit of the TPU ring. If the fit is not perfect you can cut the ring vertically to break the ring. It will still work fine. Adjust so there is about a 5-10mm gap when wrapped around the zoom collar of the lens. Slide the rigid PLA zoom gear over the collar until it is flush with the rim of the sleeve. Gear side down. Insert into the housing with the lens attached to the camera. (updated STL files. Added Text to the gear. Updated size of ring.)
