Sony NEX-5 Camera Screen Sun Shield

Prints (0)

Description

I've had this camera for years and I love the thing. But shooting pictures in bright sunlight is a challenge because mine doesn't have a viewfinder. So, now it does. I have only had a few mins in the sun to test it out but it certainly makes it much easier to use. I'll test it for awhile and decide if I need to increase the size of the shield to better cover the screen. In which case you will see an update here. For me to snap it on I first slid the right side in, then snapped the left side in. I then slid the cover down another 1cm or so to fit it over the screen. The lcd screen still moves freely except it no longer sits flush against the camera. It sticks out about 7mm. Also the menu and option buttons are just slightly covered. Not enough to brother myself. Just so you know if case you think there was a printing mistake. This was specifically designed to fit around the lcd screen of the NEX-5. Which pulls out and rotates up and down. If you need this for a different model you'll have to look at the stl file and see if it will fit. If your still not sure print just the clip on part and then stop the print and try it out. 

Instructions:The stl file needs to rotated 90 degrees so that the top part is flat on the bed. You can then print the whole thing without supports. I used 0.2mm at 50mm/s
