Open-Source Optics collection at Thingiverse

Posted by 100ideas on 28 Apr 2013 at 18:14 GMT

I believe all of the components developed by the authors have been collected with even more open-source optics components in a collection at thingiverse.com: http://www.thingiverse.co....

Great work, everyone! I found this paper because I am looking for a DIY design of a collimating lens assembly for SMA-based optical fiber connectors (i.e. Ocean Optics "74" compatibility). Guess I'll try designing printing one. If it works, I'll add it to the thingiverse collection.
