Flip Up Scope Cap (46mm ID)

thingiverse

Flip up scope cap for 46mm outer diameter barrel. Inner diameter of the cap is 46mm; outer diameter is 50mm. Since it is not practical to post a range of different inner diameter caps, use the dimensions to calculate the correct scale to fit a given scope and scale the file appropriately in the slicer used for printing. Round up for looser tolerances. Recommend rounding up an additional .25mm -.50mm depending upon the output tolerances of the printer. Example: 50mm OD/46mm ID * X /39mm ID. X = 42.39mm OD, round up to 42.5mm for a scale of 85% or 43mm @ 86% for a looser fit. 30May18 Update: Uploaded 46mmID_ScopeCap and 46mmID_RingMount. Revised files with tighter hinge tolerances. Clip lock deleted (did not keep cap in the up position as designed). Design was originally intended to be printed as a single print in place piece, which requires looser tolerances to print without fusing the two parts together. Updated files are specifically for printing each part separately, allowing for tighter tolerances. In short, less hinge wobble and the flip up cap stays open from friction fit. 31May18 Update: Cover clip locks redesigned; flip caps lock in the upward position. Mount ring lip raised for easier alignment during installation.
