I love fisheye lenses, both for artistic and technical purposes, and I have quite a collection from door peepholes to high-quality fisheye lenses. Unfortunately, few cheap options give full 180-degree views, and almost none give more than 180. Here's a simple part to allow mounting an old 185-degree converter (originally sold by IPIX for use on a long extinct 1.3MP Olympus) on a 16MP Canon PowerShot A4000. You might not have either this lens or this camera, but the mounting method easily can be adapted for many camera and adapter lens or filter combinations....

ProfHankD
I'm a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Kentucky, best known for things like having built the world's first Linux PC cluster supercomputer in 1994... although around the 3D-printing world I'm probably best known for my HingeBox (which Tested popularized). My research group (Aggregate.Org) really is about improving computing systems by making the various SW+HW components work better together, which we do for many different types of computer systems: supercomputers, digital cameras, ... and now 3D printers. I had some experience with tool and die making using Bridgeport Series I CNCs as far back as the late 1970s, but my 3D printing adventure started in late 2012 with purchase of a MakerGear M2 for my lab to make custom camera parts in support of computational photography research. I now use multiple MakerGear M2 and Wanhao I3 3D printers, several semiconductor laser cutters, a 3040T CNC mill, a programmable paper cutter, and a small vacuum forming machine.
