I have three different lenses I use in my Beseler VC67 enlarger: a 50mm for regular 35mm film, a 75mm lens for 120-format film, and a 40mm for half-frame. I needed a place to store the two lenses that are not in use while the third is in the enlarger.
This case will do the job. I have included two versions, one designed for a 2-5/8" lens board and one designed for a 4" lens board.
Printing the Part
Don't worry if you don't have a 3D printer or don't know how to use one; I show in my video how you can have an online service to the work for you. Just download the .stl file for your lens board size.
I recommend printing in a “functional device” plastic such as PETG or ABS. PLA will work just fine, but if you have someone else print it, PETG and ABS are a bit more durable.
I had bed adhesion issues, so I printed it with a brim at 0.20mm and quality.
Finishing
I recommend getting some adhesive-backed cork or felt to stick on the bottom. It will give your new part a smart appearance and will keep it from sliding around the desk.
The FreeCAD File
As usual, I have provided the FreeCAD file so you can tweak and adjust to your heart's content.
There is a spreadsheet with everything parameterized, so if you find that you have a lens that is too long, you can adjust it.
