Exploded Assembly
Note that the upper and lower lens are not the same and are not off the shelf lens. Links to replacements at the bottom of this article.
Both lens should be "dome up, away from the honeycomb" when installed.

Focal Length
The nominal focal distance between the surface of the substrate and the bottom face of the head is 3mm.
The file to cut one from 3mm material is attached to this article (below) if you want to make your own.
Many just use a US Quarter as a focus gauge and have fabulous results.
