Thanks!

what triplet do you have ?

gs

tescorp mounts a lot of standard lenses in shower drains. check his build plogs here http://www.lumenlab.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11111

I think he also sells the drains he uses.

I have the standard 320mm triplet.

Home depot shower drain - about $6. You just need to pry off the cover and then remove the rubber inner and plastic cap.
Wrap a few layers of electrical tape around the lens to increase it's diameter and then slide it in so that its a snug fit.
Mount the large plastic nut to the inside of the box and there you go.

My plog have photos of shower drain as a focus mech setup.

Basically it a standard no chauk shower drain which you can get at a local hardware supply store and on mine I wrapped electric tape around the tripet len maybe 5 or 6 turns to make it fit tight into the shower drain.

There are 2 type of shower drain, one that is glued on to the pvc pipe and the other is just screwed on to the pvc pipe using rubber gasket inside the drain. I use the one that is screwed onto the pvc pipe becasue the thread on it is longer allowing more focus movement however I had to cut the lip off as you can see in my plog that keep the rubber gasket from sliding out of the drain becasue I think it would block the FOV of the projection.
