1. Ring mount for single lens

Single lens mounting can be the first step to have a good optical alignment. In this example, a stepped ring is used to mount a single lens by gravity. The ring design is based on parameters. The part is designed with rotational symmetry.

In the next picture there are a list of measurements which are parametrized within the design. The list of parameters is as follow:

• r1 = 185 mm (see first diameter = 2*r1)
• r2 = 200 mm
• r3 = 220 mm
• h1 = 10 mm (internal height)
• h2 = 20 mm (external height)
