BEST DURABLE 3D PRINTED LENS CAPS

3d printable lens caps with a little help of easy to find clip. Springiness will last forever.

Similar projects worth following
I found many 3d printed lens cap on Thingiverse but after printing a whole and using them for a while I noticed that they get weak over time and the caps can fall easily. So I like to design hybrid 3d printed parts to reduce printing times, but this time I added a small part that I found in my office.
A small binder clip Nº 1 (also called 19mm or 3/4") these kind of clips are made with two arms that are made with a springy metal and this will eliminate the problem that I had with other 3d printed caps. And as a plus you can customize the cap with a logo or text like I did.
You can find all the free STL files and the tutorial in the links provided.

    You can use any software to edit the cap before printing. But Tinkercad is just enough for this purpose and fast to edit.

    SVG file

    Use any vector software to export and svg file and upload it to Tinkercad, you can create a hollow shape with this svg file. 1mm is enough.

    3D Printing

    For 3D printing you will need to set layer height a 0.2mm maximum to get a good resolution on the thread part of the cap.
