76mm (3") slip on lens cover

[Merlin66]

Any ideas where I can find a 76mm slip on lens cover??
This is for a old spotting scope....

Hello M66,
You could try a camera store that deals in 2nd Hand. Something like- The Camera Exchange in Melbourne (Box Hill)

Jeremy,
At over $100 delivered, probably more than the spotter scope is worth!

Not deliverable to Australia....

Not what I'm looking for - just a plain slip on (metal?) 76mm cover.

[bojan]

How about 3D printed?

[Merlin66]

Bojan,
Certainly an option.....

[bojan]

Ken,

Unfortunatelly my printer is currently broken (processor board is misbehaving), so I can't make any promises..

When I fix it (in a week or so I hope, because I need it for my own printing to do, but I am too busy right now with some other things) I may be able do it for you. You just have to give me the design (dimensions... etc.).

BTW, Officeworks in Mentone (https://www.officeworks.com.au/print/print-and-copy/3d/3d-printing) has custom 3D printing service where you can come with your own design and print it in situ... they charge $3 for 15 minutes for PLA print, so it may cost you ~$10 to do it there...

[Merlin66]

Bojan,
Thanks for the offer and details of the Officeworks option.

I may have found one!

Thanks to everyone for their input.
