I've had this Vortex Solo Monocular by my side for more than two years now, and I'm glad to share its story with you. Initially, I made a cap for it using a rubber cap that happened to fit perfectly. I often wonder why the manufacturer didn't include a cap for the eyepiece in the first place - it only came with an awkwardly tight-fitting soft case that made it difficult to use the belt clip. As someone who works at an airport, I like to observe what's flying around or going on in distant areas. It also helps me read tail numbers and add them to my collection. Since this monocular accompanies me everywhere, and I'm constantly working outdoors in a dusty industrial environment, I need to protect the glass from damage. The cap is designed with slots that taper at the end to grip the nubs on the focus ring. The inner diameter of the cap is made to snug up against the rubber knurling on the focus ring for additional grip. With these features, I can easily handle the scope once it's removed from my belt without worrying about it dropping - although, out of caution, I wouldn't recommend handling by the cap due to Murphy's Law. The cap only requires a small amount of force to pop off and just slips back on effortlessly. If you happen to print one for your monocular, be sure to let me know how it works out for you.
