Description

PDF

This is a derivative of my work from the 50mm f1.8 lens hood I made a while back. The key difference, apart from size and length, is that the 50mm has 2 locking profiles where as this lens has 3. The lock profiles that Nikon built into this one are very thin so this part has very little to grab onto. I did my best with the measurements and tolerances but to keep the lens hood on securely it is a bit tight and can be a bit difficult to get on and off.  The hood is reversible for storage on the lens when not in use and can also be rotated in either direction to be locked or unlocked from the lens. 

 

I would recommend printing with a black matte filament and/or painting the interior with a matte black to reduce as many reflections as possible. 

 

The gcode included here uses a variable extrusion height so that locking profile is printed at .2mm height and the rest of the hood is printed at .25mm.
