Since the genuine Canon hood is so expensive if you find one, I designed this as a replacement. Still a WIP!

The Canon FDn 300 / 2.8 L lens has a dedicated hood, but this is a rare and expensive item (close to half of the price of the lens since a bit too much for me, I'd rather buy film!)

I designed this to fit  my sample of the lens, with the constraint that it should mount using friction only (I use the front “bumper” to hold it) and that it should fit in the lens' case.

I added 3 2.5mm holes that you can tap to use addition screw to hold the hood in place.

I consider this a WIP as the fit is too tight, but do not plan on making a new one (14h print) as I was able to put the piece on a lathe and remove some material so that it fits my lens. Sandpaper would do also, I guess.
