Summary

Remixed from the 52mm lens cap design to fit a 55mm Nikon lens. Made the overall design larger in diameter, but shorter and a little easier to assemble. However, depending on your printer tolerances, you may need to hammer together as I did.

Edit 8/8/19: Redesigned the spring to grip better and better match the original camera lens cap. I also recommend gluing the top and bottom pieces in place, because with better tuning my printer made them so well that friction wasn't enough to keep them together and it eventually separates under the pressure and falls off of the lens.

Update 9/7/20: Had an issue with the bottom warping and bending out of shape allowing the spring to pop the cap off of the lens. I've made v2, which has thicker top and bottom pieces and the spring is shorter, so that it doesn't press so hard when at rest.
