Solar film covers for Vortex Diamondback 10x42 binoculars

Caps to provide Baader film covers for Vortex Diamondback 10x42 binoculars. I used 6mm M3 screws to hod the top and bottom together. I included a dust cap/protector to protect the Baader film from getting scratched (printing two per film cover allows them to be used as dust covers for storage). I printed the bottom with flexible material (TPU) so that it would slide easily over the binoculars, and stiff material (PETG) for the top part to keep the keep the assembly stiff and avoid the film from getting stretched or torn, but it should still work well with any material. The top part also has two grooved extensions as a safety backup so that you can add rubber bands to ensure the covers stay on while viewing the sun, but they grip so well they're likely not necessary.
