HOW TO MAKE ASM 2 lenses.

[vlngu118]

If you glue the lenses directly on the mask without faceshell, should you bend them or just let them be straight?

If you glue directly the lenses on the mask, you just have to bend the lenses and glue your lenses after have give it to him the good shape

Hi everyone,
I make this tutorial for someone who was interest by make the lenses himself !
first off, the necessary material is :

Hey man just wondering when you go to shape the metal couldn't you wait to the end and curve them a little more to really have that done effect? Great tutorial! You should make one on how to actually make the frames that would be awesome!

Hi man ! Thank you, and for the metal curve, I have curved a lot of piece of metal, and a lot was go to the junk ... It's very difficult to work the metal ! After a lot of test, curve more it's too hard but you can curve more ! ( after 10 failed, this final test is good ahah ! )
For the frame, I try to use urethane frame, but the result is very ugly xD

for complete my answer, when your lenses are totally finish ( frame and lenses ) you can curved the frame by the metal ( the metal give a good shape on the lenses )

I think he said this in bis first post... "If u are using a faceshell, use boiling water or hair dryer"... Maybe he's not using one and he prefer only give this bubble shape to the glass part of the lenses without shaping the frame to a faceshell... My english is bad too... Im french

Jeck, first of all Nice thread.. ill translate. Est-ce bien difficile de mettre le screen protector par dessus ton grillage? Où t'es tu procurer ce métal, et finalement est-ce qu'on voit tes yeux au travers? Ou ca cache complètement?

Is it hard to apply the screen protector over the metal stuff? Where did u get the metal stuff? And can we see ur eyes through it?

P.s. je pense que bcp d'rpfer confondent le principe du frame et de la lentille.

I mean the curve of the frame is shape to the faceshell and it doesnt have much thickness
The other lense havr much more thickness

Thank you man !
It's not really easy to place the screen guard perfectly !
I have The sheet metal from Leroy Merlin ! And the visibility are perfect! Look the pics

C'est pas réellement facile de placer la protection, il faut aller délicatement pour bien le position contre le métal!
Tu pourra trouver la feuille de tôle perforée a Leroy Merlin pour 15 euros ! Pour la visibilité, regarde la photo c'est parfait !

Thank you for your comments !

Great tutorial jeck, thanks! I also am using the shapeways lenses but I am having trouble with magnets. The edges are so thin and the lens itself is so thin that it is difficult to put on magnets... I will play with it some more. Also I am trying to make them magnetic so I am curving it first with a blow dryer (no heat gun ). This is taking longer than I expected... I think I may have to end up using the curved water bottle like you showd in a different tutorial.

Hi dude ! First off, thank you!
For shapeways frame I advice plastic bottle ! It's really better, the sheet metal look good with Tjack frame because the frame is bigger!
I didn't use again the metal, too hard to work with them !
Thats why I have made a new tuto !
If you have any question I'm here !
