Lens Protector Cap for GoPro MISSION 1
Print Profile(1)
Bill of Materials
Description
This is a simple lens protector/cap made for the GoPro Mission 1 and Mission 1 Pro camera lens. It has a slight friction fit but slips on and off easily, and there is an offset inside the lens cap so that the lens glass does not touch the cover (see pics for a cross-section).
There are two models provided - one with a Lanyard loop, and one without. The lanyard loop can be used in tandem with a lanyard string or rubber band to secure the cap nearby or even to the camera, but it's not necessary. The extra geometry has a negligible impact to print time.
This can be printed in PLA or TPU (tested - others may work as well), with reasonable fitment for both filaments. PLA can be treated as a "hard shell" while TPU operates more like a squishy cap typically seen from GoPro products. Either provide reasonable protection, but as the creator, I like TPU better!
Recommended print orientation is with the outside face of the lens cap on the build plate, as this allows printing without supports, with your preferred layer height (0.3 draft is totally fine, if you like), and keeps the lanyard loop as strong as possible.
