Hobbyist Camera Lens Housing

Hobbyist Camera Lens Housing

What

  • Engineered a CAD assembly of a camera lens housing for hobbyist optical experiments and internal component study.
  • Developed a multi-element lens barrel with integrated mounting threads, precise seats for optical glass and a conical light path.

How

  • Used Fusion 360 to check internal clearances and keep multiple optical stages aligned within the main housing.
  • Designed a robust outer casing with thick walls and deep screw bosses to protect the internals in a compact form.

Results

  • Delivered a precise model ready for prototyping by FDM printing or CNC machining, so custom lens set-ups can be tested physically.
  • Showed how complex internal features such as light baffles and focal planes can be integrated into one manufacturable assembly.

Tools and processes: Fusion 360, clearance analysis, FDM printing, CNC machining
