The OS-3 Snoot for the Backscatter HF-1 strobe looks great, shiny and smooth. Keep it looking sharp by protecting it from dings and scratches. The snoot is pretty long and it is definitely going to get knocked around over time. The end of the snoot and glass are most at risk. Adding this TPU rubber bumper is a quick and easy way to keep it protected and in good working order for the long term. 

Simply stretch the bumper over the end of the snoot. The ribbed end of the bumper should be oriented towards the base of the snoot. The bumper should slip over fairly easily but it takes some effort to get it off. It definitely won't be falling off in the water. If you do need to remove it or have trouble getting it installed, I suggest running it under hot water for a bit to soften it up before pulling it on or off. 

Print with flexible TPU 95a, 85a, or 90a for best results. It will not fit or work rigid materials like PLA or PETG.
