Xiaomi Yi Lens Protector

thingiverse

I got fed up with smashing cheap glass screen protectors, so I created this instead. It's primarily designed for use with an Lisam LS210 frame and my 30 degree mount (found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1394967), but there may be other uses for it. The device secures to the frame via a velcro strap. I suggest printing it in black to prevent light from reflecting back into the sensor. My inspiration came from etracer's design found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1299062 After Printing Materials: A 30x30x3mm piece of acrylic or polycarbonate is required. Four M3 nyloc nuts are needed. Four M3x10mm screws are necessary. Using a drill press would be helpful to make the holes in the acrylic. Method: Clean up the print and ensure it fits the Yi snugly. Some sanding of the inside lens hole may be required due to its design, which is intended to provide a tight fit. You will also need to pre-drill the screw holes to 3mm. Cut the acrylic to size. A 30x30mm +/- 1mm cut will do the job, while 31x31mm is ideal. Drill 3mm holes in the acrylic. It's easiest if you place the acrylic and mark where the holes need to go with a pen. The holes are spaced 25mm apart for reference. Press fit the nyloc nuts into the print (making sure they're inserted correctly). Attach the acrylic with the screws. Rip balls without worrying about the lens protector breaking.
