Lens Case for Nikon 40mm f2.8 DX

This case is designed to be printed in two different materials.  There is an inner liner designed to be printed in a soft medium.  I used TPU, bit I expect expanding filament would also work well.  There is an outer shell which should be printed in a stiff, durable material.  I used PETG.

There are no special settings for this print, simply align the flat surface with your build plate and use settings that work well with your printer and your material choices.

The lower insert will hold the lens fairly tightly.  This is by design to provide optimal protection for the lens.  You will likely want to try a test fit of your lens in the liner before final assembly to be sure you can remove it.

The liner inserts will require a little pressure to push into place will remain firmly in place through normal use.  If you choose stiffer material for your liner, it may become challenging to put it in place.  It may also be difficult to insert or remove the lens.  The grip mechanism for the liner is the same for both top and bottom, so if something seems odd, stop and check the other liner before pushing it in to place as it may be difficult to remove.

Note: This case is designed to fit the specific lens in the title.  If you need it to work for a different lens, you can message me with accurate dimensions for your lens (including things like the small bump out for the auto focus switch on this one) and I may be able to modify the models to work for you.  You can attempt to scale the case to fit your lens, but this will alter the thickness of the padding.

Note: While this case should afford your lens some protection from some limited abuse, it is not tested or certified to provide a specific amount of protection.  The care of your equipment is entirely your responsibility.

I am also including a .svg for a cut vinyl label.
