Looking at getting an entry level 3d printer now may be worth while

Hey Craine, How did this lens work for you ? Thinking of getting mostly for above water photography, but gets extra points if the feedback is good.

Hi I done a search on here on the for the diypedia post all was there really good stuff in there .

I picked up a rubber nozzle blower/tire inflator combo that attaches to a low pressure hose BCD connection. One less battery to charge and finding a tank to connect to on a trip is never an issue.

Sold

I've been using something similar for a couple of years. It is remarkably effective in drying off housings and ports. I think I've shared the Amazon link about a dozen times to people that see it and want to buy. I should get a referral credit!

Thanks, seems like it's a good thing I don't need to modify mine.

Starting to get the hang of the 12mm. Curious to see if I can get better image quality from the 15mm. This lens definitely does what I wanted for low light wreck shots.

thanks all! I was able to install it but it took me about 3-4 hour as i didn't have the right tool at hand. The hardest part was actually inserting the spring below this locking block. I just tried again and again with a tweezer until it was in the right position. Inserting the C-ring (eclip/circlip) wasn't easy either.. Would not recommend doing it (or ask someone with tiny hands to do it) Ultimately, I did insert the spring, but have no idea which of the two springs they provided to use, as the Nauticam adaptor i have (37303, bought in 2018) wasn't listed in the manual. however, it now works and holds the vaccum. Chris : the adaptor I have (37303), without the upgrade, would not let me lock on the newer WACP 1B which I had bought. It would slide in, but would not lock. Now that i have updated it, it works and seems to hold the vaccum. that locking block is a few mm lower in the grooves of the port.

The Retra Pro Max strobes have been purchased by John Melendez in WA. I still have the one Prime available.

I made an MFO-1 hood that also fits the SMC diopters. I have not laid hands on an MFO-3 yet to see if its appropriate. https://makerworld.com/@awkward_swine/collections/16165730?appSharePlatform=copy

Interesting, I have 36064, the 34.7mm N85-N120 adapter and the serial number is below the cutoff listed in the Seatech link posted, this is what I have and as far as I can see the adapter (purchased secondhand) has not been modified: I use it with a 35mm extension ring type II quite happily (ignorance is bliss after all) and I've done a couple of trips using it and everything works fine as far as I can tell. It makes me wonder what the incompatibility issue is actually is? According to the instructions this is the new style locking block and it seems to have a shorter tab: As I said the locking block in the photo works with my type II 35mm N120 extension ring.

how was you scuba trip in Sardinia where did you go ? Cannigione ?

Could you please post a link?

Think I’ve found what I’m looking for

Hi Bill - If you've still got this, I will take it. Robert

recently got a mfo3 lens and I think a protective hood would be very beneficial to stop the glass getting scratched. Does anyone know of any sites I can get the necessary files to download to 3D print a hood.

The MF60 is currently on sale on Amazon. I picked one up.

I have the 37305 Type II.

Silicone end caps, 90 mm diameter (I have the Nauticam 82mm filter adapter on it), 3 euros on Aliexpress ...

Thanks

Hi just started using the mfo3 and finding the need for a cap and hood to protect the lens glass an excellent idea as I am worried about scratching the glass. Is it possible to get the files or what ever is needed to print the components. I don’t have a 3d printer but I am able to go down to my local library and have it done. Any help is very much appreciated.

Aloha and welcome @Paul s !
