Camera Lens Cap Holder by kitlaan
Don’t you just hate it that big, fancy cameras don’t have clever self-retracting lens caps like your cheap point-and-shoot does? Do you find yourself losing caps,or leaving them off, risking your expensive lenses?
Well guess what — Thingiverse user kitlaan has come up with one of the cleverest solutions I’ve ever seen to this problem. It’s a fully parametric lens cap holder for attaching your unused caps to your camera strap. Not only will you stop losing caps, you’ll also keep them out of your linty pockets.
Awesome work — keep the camera innovations coming!
A (parametric) buckle that you can attach to your camera strap, which lets you (hopefully) stop losing your lens cap.
The STL is sized for a 58mm lens cap, and a ~40mm strap width.
The printing layers make for a great friction catch for the lens cap. But there's a designed-in lip overhang to make it a little more aggressive.

I actually found out about the kickstarter after I posted it. I guess it’s a simple enough design to develop.
The kickstarter’s many-sizes-in-one is a great approach for a pre-manufactured design (I never considered that).
