Topdon TC001 and TC002 thermal camera lens mount

Rasperry pi, left: with macro lens 76.2mm, right: without (both images scaled and cropped to show the approx. the same excerpt. The closest distance where the image was as sharp as possible was chosen each)

Allows for mounting a PVD lens with a diameter of 20mm
Focal distance can be varied by a thread
A \u00bc\" camera mount allows for a tripod attachment
Inspired by https://youtu.be/wG1JiTR00H8
Have a look here for using the camera at a computer: https://github.com/leswright1977/PyThermalCamera/

Lenses:

You need special lenses that are transparent for infrared radiation
A focal length of 76.2 mm is known to work for macro imaging (see comparison image)
You can get a lens here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005426131784.html , choose 20mm diameter and e.g. 76.2 mm focal length USA ZnSe or China PVD

Printing:

Print all three parts
3 Perimeters
I used ASA for long lasting \u201cspringy\u201d elements, but PLA and PETG were reported to work well, too.
Clearances are a thing here, so have your printer tuned in
Freecad file is attached, you can relatively easy change dimensions.
The middle tube snaps into the enclosure part.
Snap the lens into the lens tube.
Screw the lens tube into the middle tube.
