Remix of lens cover by balabas (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:782450)
I did following main adjustments:

  • enlarged to fit my lens size
  • balabas's cover goes completely inside the edge of the lens and from my opinion there is risk of scratching the lens, this design goes over the edge and only small inner part goes inside
  • spring holder added to avoid the spring going off the body while pressed and damage the lens
  • spring strenghten to hold properly
    Assembly is easy, but the spring needs to go under the side holders. Ideal approach is to put one side of spring under the holder, put one side of slider through, then by a little of power put another part of spring under the holder and finally second slider through. Do not worry, it will survive a little pressure.
    Ideal to print from PETG, PLA is not suitable.

Edit:
part2_v2.stl attached - the curled holders are a bit stronger.
