Summary
I recently purchased a Hasselblad 40mm C f/4. I love medium format cameras and lenses. The are sharp, work very well, and are built to last, this lens is no exception.It's a beast weighing in at 1.375kg ~3lbs. I've been scared to shoot it because I didn't have a filter to mount on it. Older series Hasselblad lenses (and some Rolleis) take bayonet style filters and lens hoods. They work great but are hard to come by, and expensive if you do find them.
My idea was to design a lens hood that I could print and mount to the camera. It takes a b104 filter, and hood. Which means bayonet 104mm diameter!
I did some research and found there was a rubber lens hood that was sold to fit this camera, but I haven't been able to find one for sale, or borrow for reference. The CAD I have posted is all from looking at lots of pictures, and taking measurements from the lens, and a b60 lens hood I have from another lens.

Instructions
Just print the lens hood. Attach to your camera and enjoy!
Update 8.27.2013
Printed version in ABS very sturdy pics to come
Increased bayonet diameter fit was too snug
Final version!
Update 8.1.2013
Thickened the bayonet ring
Tweaked Baynote diameter
Still tuning the maxium rotation
Update 8.1.2013
Tweek to the hood diameter it was still a little too big
Thickened the material around bayonet mount for durability
Update 7.30.2013
Added a taper to the lens hood to make it a little stronger, and more representative of the original rubber version
Changed the bayonet mount to be a friction/interference fit instead using faux detents
Fixed hood diameter. Previous version too big.
Disclaimer I have not printed this on a RepRap or Makerbot yet. I have access to a Stratsys Vantage that uses a water soluable support material.

Beautiful project! Congratulations you have been very good, I'm looking for a lens hood for a distagon 50 with B60 attack but I can't find it, do you have any idea where it can be found?
Thank you
