Since we have the correct lens frames, sure would be cool to have high quality lenses. Now I just need to find the time to spend really testing it out.
I don't have a CNC, but I like that video. It does make me wonder if you could put polishing wheels on the toolhead instead of an end mill. Might save a bit of manual work.
I have the clear resin now, but without thinking about it, I'd discarded my first bottle for the opaque resin when I put the last of it into the tank, and the second bottle is unopened and full. So I can't test until I either use enough resin to empty my tank without worrying about overflow, find another bottle to use, or Elegoo gets around to releasing their 4-in-1 tank pack on Amazon so I can have multiples.
The drawback with printing the lens is that the lenses would have to be printed solid. That means either printing on supports and dealing with the defects, or printing flat and hoping that the peel force of such a large area doesn't cause a print failure. And because it'd be a solid lens, it'll use a fair amount of resin
