A parametric eye-socket loupe (or lens holder). I have always been unhappy with all those standard eye-socket loupes. Too small, too big, they fall off, wrong focal length and additionally, they never are where you would expect them to be... (colleagues, kids, wife... ;-) Here's my solution: Paraloupe, the parametric magnifying thingy. The loupe consists of 2 parts, the "body" and a "lens fixture", which holds the glass in place. A third part "debug tube" is provided to save time and filament. It can be used to tune the diameter to fit the lens.Do not print the STL file, this is only an example. Load the provided OpenSCAD file, modify the parameters and then compile and export the results.measure the lens diameter and change the value of the "lens_dia" constantset PRINT_BODY = 0; PRINT_FIXTURE = 0; PRINT_DEBUG_TUBE = 1; to reduce the output to the "debug tube"Compile, export, print and check if the lens fits inside. If it doesn't: adjust lens diameter value and repeatThere are a lot of other parameters available, adjust them to your needs. Usually, you'll only need:eye_ring_dialens_dia () lens_hold_thick () lens_tube_length (*)lens_fixture_length (*)eye_lens_dist Values marked with (*) require special attention.after adjusting all the stuff, set PRINT_BODY = 1; PRINT_FIXTURE = 0; PRINT_DEBUG_TUBE = 0; to print the body
