Description
This is the first attempt at making a lenshood for the canon 18-55 kitlens. It is still a work in progress, but I wanted to share the preliminary results.
The little notch on the bajonet needs to be smaller and probably placed differently.I removed them with pliers so the lenshood would fit. Also the ultimaker printed the hood as two layers which didn't completely adhere.I guess this has to do with the settings of the ultimaker which I'm still very new to.
Hope to inspire some and perhaps improve on this initial desing.

*UPDATE*
Version 2 is up! I removed the notch on the bayonet fitting because the fitting is snug enough without it. I changed the thickness of the model from 1.2 mm to 1.0mm so that the two printed lines(inner and outer wall) are much closer together. This improved the overall stiffness of the model.

Instructions
I'm new to the 3d printing thing so I'll just share some of the settings I used.
I printed on the Ultimaker, running the 5d firmware.
Using:Replicator G 25 beta and Skeinforge 35, profile: Ultimaker failsafe V1.
Layer height: 0.3mm

If the inner and outer walls of the lens hood are printing out seperately with no fill, you need to set skeinforge for 0 shells on the fill tab.

Yesterday I printed a new lenshood design for the 50mm 1.8 and adjusted the width of the walls from 1.2 to 1.0 mm. This resulted in the two printed lines being much closer together. Overall stiffness of the lenshood is much better. Haven't tried the 0 shells setting yet.

Can you post the source file for this thing? What program did you use to design this?
scource file is posted, .3dm file. There are some gaps in the model, I usually check and repair my models using cloud.netfabb.
Hi, it's made in Rhinoceros. I can post the .3dm file, it will be up soon.
