Sony-E Oreo Body Lens Caps
Description
Here's a short video overview: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CleWUEvtWsy/ Came across the design by FloridaMan999 for the Canon RF Oreo camera/lens caps and wanted to make my own for the Sony-E mount. Went through a couple of different versions, cause turns out this thing is pretty difficult to print(atleast to get a good result). Maybe due to the fact that I have the stock ender 3 v2 glass bed, so if trying to print the Oreo texture face down, there's a lot of adhesion issues. Anyway, the way the models will import to your slicer is the best way to print them in my opinion. When it comes to assembly, the Oreo body cap base and screw parts have a really tight tolerance. I might do another revision for the base, but currently they snap into place with a bit of force and once they're stuck together, it's almost impossible to get them unstuck. It might seem at first when assembling, that there's no way they will fit together, but try to get one edge started and it will make it easier. The lens cap part is easier, parts snap into place much better, be careful when printing the ring to check the small posts don't have any extra bits of plastic, otherwise it won't fit together. Feel free to cut off any posts that didn't print correctly. You can use a tiny bit of glue if you prefer, but for me it didn't really seems necessary. When printing the base of the Lens cap I recommend adding support blockers in the slicer for the small holes, as those would be impossible to clean afterwards. Be careful when assembling the lens cap not to insert the screw part upside down. It's easier to print upside down, that's why it's in that orientation, but the flat parts of the teeth have to be upwards when inserting it into the base.
