NeoLucida DIY Eyepiece (Legacy)

When we made the original NeoLucida Kickstarter Campaign, we offered loose NeoLucida prisms for DIY makers and students. We no longer offer prisms, but if you have some, or you are interested in 3D Printing your own eyepiece from the 2013 NeoLucida prism you have, here are the STL files for use in your 3D Printer.

This download file contains three .STL files:

  • Eyepiece for left-hand users

  • Eyepiece for right-hand users

  • Eyepiece Endcap

Eyepiece for left-handed users.

Eyepiece for right-hand users.

Instructions

  1. Choose the eyepiece you want to print based on your dominant hand use.

  2. Print the .STL file AND print the Endcap .STL file.

  3. After printing, insert your triangular prism through the open end, matching the shape with the triangle opening which is also two equal sides at right angles and a longer hypotenuse. The mirrored side of the prism is the longest edge (hypotenuse) and this will be the bottom of the eyepiece when using your NeoLucida to draw.

  4. Snap on the endcap to trap your prism inside and prevent it from falling out.

  5. The mounting end is a hexagonal opening. Insert a standard 1/4”-20 hexagonal nut into the opening. This will allow you to mount your DIY NeoLucida eyepiece to any camera mounting arm.

  6. Follow the instructions for setting up your NeoLucida and get drawing!
