# 3D printable spring-loaded scope cap

This repository contains the 3D printable files for a spring-loaded scope cap for scopes, red-dots and magnifiers. The scope cap is designed to protect the lens of your scope from scratches, dust, and other debris when not in use.


The cap is fully parameterized, so you can make it fit to whatever optic you have.

I've included exported versions for the Holosun 503r and Holosun Magnifier HM3X (as pictured).

## Requirements

### Tools

- Calipers
- Wire cutters
- 3D printer

### Materials

#### Spring

You will require some sort of torsion spring. This can be a hard part to source. The easiest and cheapest solution for me was to buy these miniature clothes pin at a craft store, take out the spring and bend it into shape.
