I just finished my Lensbaby Focus gear. It took 4 parts, but it works great. The lens is very simple and does NOT support autofocus or aperture control from the camera. Entirely manual. I made it for a friend that likes to experiment with these creative lenses.

 

  1. Spacer to sit under the gear and raise it to the level of the Housing's cog.
  2. Gear with slots to engage the collar and turn the gear. Slides over the collar and supports the telescoping lens.
  3. TPU sleeve to grip the lens
  4. Collar with pegs to engage with the gear cylinder

Another cold weekend here so I setup my gear with the printed adaptor plate for the Nauticam flexi tray. Even above water the setup is rock solid including the ball head. The tripod legs only just stay in place with the weight of the camera and light, but that should be no problem in-water. An issue might be to get low enough to the subject as the ball head adds quite a bit of height. Might have to look for a lower profile version of a ball head or even just use a "levelling ball head".

Hi has anyone printed a N100 Port Cover Female (Rear Port Cap) and would be willing to share the files so I could get some printed locally?

I think this should work. It works on my 3D printed N100 ports. I don't have an actual Nauticam port to try it on. Maybe get one printed first, and if it works well order more.

Semi hard covers for Nautical 180 Ports. The blueV2 version uses less bungee to hold cover in place. The slots are to accommodate GoPro mounts. A V3 cover has more robust bungee receptacles(not shown).

Printed with TPU. Never liked the idea of neoprene covers for domes. The hard covers hold on very well. I am not sure how to get proven stauts, but they work for my needs.

Would be amazing if we could get something like this as well for other port sizes (e.g.140mm, 230mm) 😇

Will do that. I would expand the circumference about 1.5mm from the original slice. The last print fit a little tight at the top.It could be different on other printers or slicer. I sliced using Cura with tree supports. Printed on Reality CR10 V2

I'm surprised you needed supports for this. What orientation did you print in?

Posted (edited)

The bungee retainers needed support. I could modify angles or increase the suport angle in aura. It was printed top down. V5 needed less support.
