The clips that hold the lens in my magnifying lamp broke. Rather than throw the whole thing out, I decided to re-purpose the lens.

This is a 3D printed frame for a 6.25" diameter lens with a 5/32" edge. Pop the lens in then screw on the handle.

Note: The handle is a left hand thread. Turn left to tighten.

Print with support under the ring threads.
