I have a magnifying glass from a helping hand clamp setup. The glass was sitting around on my bench and it wasn't easy to use by itself. I needed a handle.

Thingiverse to the rescue. This handle looked about the best. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1724098

It was too big, but a little Blender magic fixed that. Then I found out that the thread on the ring was too large for the tapped hole in the handle. Some more magic and another print. Now everything works ok.

The treads are left-handed. This was a pain at first because the brain it trained to tighten things the other way. For a one-off part it was not worth changing.

The lens was just slightly loose. I decided to add glue to hold and fill the gap.

I used support to print. The supports inside the thread are a pain to remove.
