I have had the Backscatter Miniflash MF-1 and MF-2 strobes for many years and love the OS-1 Snoot that this small strobe was designed around. It's probably the best snoot on the market, accurate and easy to use. The new Atom strobe is more powerful than the Miniflash models, but not much bigger. It's pretty much replaced my MF-2 strobe.

But I really didn't want to buy the new OS-2 snoot for it. It turns out that the new model uses the same exacted optics and lens module as the older OS-1 snoot. It just uses a new mounting part to attach to the strobe. I have designed an adapter with very similar dimensions as the OS-2 snoot, and it works perfectly. The light cards from the OS-1 will also work in the updated snoot. 

Directions:

Remove the four M3 screws that hold the aluminum optics front end module from the OS-1 snoot. You will need a 2.5mm allen key wrench. 

Use four M3 20mm screws to attach the adapter to the OS-1 optics module. Do not over tighten, just slightly finger tight. Do NOT use a screw longer than 20mm or you will very likely crack the glass in the optics module. 

Filament Choice:

I strongly suggest using the recommended PETG for this model. PLA might work in the short term, but PLA does not wear well in the water and sun.  It might break unexpectedly when exposed to the elements.
