pictureFWLABT7I8CVVZ48.MEDIUMOur very own Historical Emporium Mastermind and Mad Scientist, Chris, is ready, with his latest creation: The Steampunk Adjustable Tint Goggles

 He took a pair of our Screw Ring Goggles and modified them with a set of polarized lenses allowing for a lens which goes from clear to dark with just a twist.

Of course he used one of his brand new toys: a 3-D printer, to complete this design. But don’t let the lack of equipment keep your creative mind down.

One commenter on Chris’ walk-through, Badideasrus, suggested that perhaps a similar design could be made using other materials when a 3-D printer is not available.

More images, along with a full build walk-through is loaded up on his Instructables page, here: Steampunk Adjustable Tint Goggles

The editors of Instructables also decided to feature his design on the Instructables home page. Make sure you check it out!
