Replacement Connex Prosight Camera Lens Mount

thingiverse

Here is the rewritten text: Many photographers have inadvertently damaged their lens mounts while their cameras themselves remain fully functional. Due to Amimon's current inventory constraints, a replacement part for the cracked mount isn't readily available, rendering the camera unusable once it breaks. To mitigate this risk, I recommend printing the lens mount in sections: print the first 5.5mm with a .2mm layer thickness and stop there. Then, resume printing the rest of the lens shaft at a finer resolution of .05mm or .1mm. I've personally found .1mm to be a suitable compromise between detail and stability. It's crucial to avoid overtightening the threads, as this can cause them to break easily. When using a lock ring, apply gentle pressure first, then secure it in place with hot glue to prevent any further damage. In terms of materials, I suggest opting for ABS over PLA due to PLA's inherent brittleness, which may lead to cracking under stress. While PLA might still work, I believe ABS or PETG would provide better durability, and nylon is another possibility worth exploring. Minimal supports are required during printing, and this design has been successfully printed in
