Great solution but I have found the Shapeways adapter VERY tight on my Elmo 16-AL. Extremely difficult to install and remove. Did anyone else find that?

I’ve found that my adapter that I 3D printed is a little tight on the outer diameter now, which makes it hard to focus. It wasn’t that way to begin with. I will probably turn the outside a little smaller on a lathe to fix.
3D printing is pretty amazing stuff, but if you don’t have a way to adjust tolerances on the parts it can be frustrating. Maybe you can find someone who can adjust the model for you enough that it will work? Otherwise, maybe some sandpaper glued to a block of very flat material like MDF board and carefully use it to sand the outer diameter of your adapter until it fits.
