Lens needs replacing on Tony
Opened this issue · 6 comments
magman2112 commented
The cutting on Tony has been having some issues lately. I inspected the lens on Maker Day and found the lens to be badly marked with an internal flaw.
I managed to clean the lens to a degree, but the flaw is still present and will cause the lens to mark up again quickly, so a replacement is due.
This was previously an issue in #1749, where we indentified a suitable lens from Amazon. On checking the amazon site though, delivery for the original item is 2-3weeks. So I managed to find an alternate supplier on Amazon which is next day delivery.
For reference, the lens is 19mm diameter with a focal length of 63.5mm (or 2 1/2 inches).

If one of these could be purchased soon, we can then confirm this fits and works correctly, then likely order a second one to keep one on hand as a spare.

Should I go ahead and buy this lens then?

The lens was fitted last Maker Day.
Tony appears to be cutting well, but I will do some more testing before seeing if we want to order another lens to hold as a spare.
