Nikon HB-69 18-55mm VRII New lens hood

thingiverse

This hood is designed specifically for new Nikon 18-55mm VRII lenses featuring two sturdy prongs. Other designs available on Thingiverse with this profile have three prongs, making them incompatible with newer lens models. The reversible design of this hood allows for convenient storage, just as it was originally intended to be. In the image, a Nikon D5500 camera is shown, equipped with an 18-55mm VRII lens. Print Settings Printer: TEVO Tarantula Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.15 Infill: 20% Notes: Material: PLA Print Speed: 60 Nozzle Temperature: 210 Heat Bed: 60 Pre-Printing Tip: Filament and Time-Saving Hack Begin printing, then stop after a few layers. Cancel the print job and inspect the printed ring size with your camera lens. If it matches, start fresh; otherwise, adjust the design for accuracy. Post-Printing Instructions Depending on printer precision and calibration, you may need to sand the prongs to achieve a smooth finish. To secure a tight fit, use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm up the hood before fitting it onto your lens. Allow the plastic to cool and take shape accordingly.
