Model details

Description

Overview and production context

This 3D model is a fixture specifically designed for washing optical parts. It has an inner diameter of 48mm, a seating diameter of 50mm, and an outer diameter of 52mm, ensuring a secure hold for a 50mm diameter part. The 2mm seating depth allows the top of the part to protrude for easy washing, preventing it from falling through. Two notches on the side facilitate easy part removal. The model is optimized for 3D printing and is ideal for workshops involved in optics production and maintenance.

How to use this model

Use cases, fit and pre-production checks

This fixture is ideal for 3D printing. Materials resistant to chemical exposure, such as ABS or PETG, are recommended. Supports may be needed for overhangs during printing, but the design minimizes their necessity. Scaling the model is possible, but changes in size may affect the precise fit for optical parts. The fixture can be used as a prop in AR/VR applications related to manufacturing or laboratory research, or as a functional element in board games or dioramas simulating production processes. For best 3D printing results, a layer height of 0.1-0.2mm and 20-30% infill are recommended. After printing, remove supports and perform post-processing if necessary to smooth surfaces that contact optics. The fixture can be painted any color for better visual integration into a workspace or game scene. Its compact size and thoughtful design make it a convenient tool for any task involving optical component care.
