I just got my copy. The glass is really good, but usability is not great at this point. Will it get better with practice?

Please share your experiences in getting used to the thing.

It doesn't come with a lens cover and the eyecup lacks adjustability. Anybody knowledge of suitable 3rd party alternative parts of 3D printable designs? I'm planning to test print a few modifications to existing designs and will report soon how they fit.

Any more hints to get most out of this rather unusual monocular?

Here's the first prototype of an eyecup. It is 83,38 % scaled version from this design: Nikon TC-E2 binocular shell by grzybu
Soft TPU.
Fits well and improves the situation somewhat. Still doesn't feel perfect, though.
