How do I get this out?

Is that a lens or just protective glass and how do I get it out to change it?

Twotrees sell packs of 5. Is that what I need?

With a large flat screw in the slots or you can make one DIY tool.

Depending on the size, my little xtool lens removal tool might work. I’d try soaking it in acetone for half an hour (just incase there’s any glue, the Xtool glues their lens from the factory) then print the tool and have a go.

EDIT: As for replacing it, you can get crystal lenses cheap from a watch parts store. I use these from esslinger on my lasers.

Thanks for the info. I don’t know the diameter of the lens but I’ve downloaded the plan. I also looked on Printables for twotrees but nothing suitable but a couple of other items worthwhile. Thanks for the link. I live in Spain so I’ll look this side of the pond for lenses.
