This is a lens hood for the Pentax 02 Zoom lens
It will help reduce flare and improve contrast when bright lights such as the sun are just outside the field of view.
There are three versions of it but I have only printed the first one. It fits perfectly and works fine but had some things that could be improved.
First its vertical field of view is a bit more than needed making the hood larger than necessary.
Second when fitting in reverse (for storage) it is not possible for the lens to be retracted fully (zoom to 15mm) because the base of the hood is not wide enough.
At 8mm or less it will partially shadow the flash, I'm not sure whether the V2 or V3 versions also have this problem, but for the V3 at least I'm pretty confident it won't shadow the flash.
I fixed these things in V2 but I have not printed a V2 yet because the first one is good enough for me for now.
I have also designed a third version with a petal rather than box shape. Other than that it is identical to V2
