Thanks for the report on the Shapeways reflector, Moose.

It’s encouraging that it worked well, as I have never had the 20/2 macro do 
useful things with other lighting techniques. But it’s also discouraging that 
the quality of the CNC plastic one was less than great.

Based on your report, I decided to hold on the Shapeways one, and have instead 
bought a 49-72 adapter from China for $1.98. I have no idea of the focal 
length, but it has a 26 degree slope that is slightly concave, so perhaps it 
will be useful. I’ll spray the inside flat white and see what happens.

Or mebby it will wait until I build my 3D printer. TheBuilder kindly made his 
CAD file downloadable. I have all the parts for the 3D printer; just need to 
put it together, right? Story of my life...

Jan
