Night Vision ATN 4k Pro with ABL 3d printed scope cover

[bnewman424]

Bought an ATN 4k Pro and the ABL 1000 and there is really no scope covers available that aren't a neoprene sock so took a crack at making my own. I had made a couple of duct tape wonders in the meantime but had also played with aperture sizes for the front objective to allow for more contrast in the daytime. Ended up settling on a 1/2' aperture. Let me know if you have any questions or would like the STL files. I sent mine out to Shapeways for printing for around $50. Your mileage may vary. I made the housing a little over sized and foam lined it for a tight fit. Everything else was zero clearance so that I could hand fit.

That's really freaking impressive. Nice work!

Would this also work with an ABL 1500 on an X sight pro 4k 3-14. Also, what did you use as the pins for the covers to attach and are the holes for the pins part of the design or something you have to poke in later?

I don't know if it will work on the 1500 or the 3-14 but here are the dimensions of my 5-20 and ABL 1000. The extension scope shade that the ABL mounts to has a diameter of 2.528". My ABL measures measures 2.805 on the round parts, 4.140 across the flats, and the range finder portion is 2.265 on the flats. I assume they are the same housing but I don't know. I have attached pictures

As for pins I used some small nails I had laying around cut to length with a dab of super glue on one side.

Here is my order information from shapeways when I did it back in 2020. I'm sure prices have changed but I just chose what they call White Natural Versatile Plastic. I painted mine flat black when it came.

Man thanks you for such a quick reply. I have a buddy who will print this out for me and it looks like, other than the length of the scopes, every thing else is identical. This will be awesome for those foggy and otherwise humid days. It is nearly impossible to keep the optics and the ABL glass fog free on those days, and even harder to get a cloth down into the sunshade housing to wipe the lens off...

I don’t even own one, but that’s sharp.
