Summary

Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) has recently found that protecting the sample from exposure to light improves output.

This design is an exact replica of the plastic shields provided by ONT for PromethION flowcells.

See raingel's design if you're after MinION flowcell shields.

How I Designed This

took a picture of a shield on white background
removed background with GIMP
traced shape with inkscape
exported as dxf
converted dxf to stl with openscad
