3D printed MEDIUM FORMAT CAMERA for MAMIYA PRESS lenses

The files attached above correspond to a slightly improved version which reduces the friction between the body and the unexposed film spool (already corrected in the "Modeling" section of the video). I'm attaching a .f3d file for you to play with it.

Now we need a 3d printing camera. Like a Polaroid for objects

Icame here for the build and the music found me

Great and beautiful video to watch. The camera is also a beautiful piece of machinery.

Great video and cool camera, but this has to be the most grating music I ever heard in a video.

I would love to see you transform an existing camera (either SLR or a simple point and shoot) to a half-frame camera! Should be fairly simple but the tricky part is ensuring the film advance mechanism only advances the film half as much (I think the simplest would be to make a new sprocket).

What about making it digital?, there is enough space on th back for a full frame cmos sensor

Didn't know you can get ISO 3200 film...

Great project. Maybe you should do a light sealing between frontplate and housing. I think the 4 crews are not enough to keep it complete dark. It looks like there is some little light coming in anywhere... what do you think?

i saw 1 russian guy, wh0 make 3d printed camera for 6x12 format

Would be cool if you build a hybrid camera, half digital with LCD and half legacy components. There are such existing projects, but I'm sure you can make a better one.

Could you design one that uses instax squares

[baekmedier]

I have the Mamiya RB 67 :) I really want to get a 3d printer now after watching your video..

[kierancarter]

This is amazing would love to add to it

[Altcine]

Great work and beautiful presentation 🙌🏾

[rust_male]

maybe I missed it; is this printed in PLA?

[dnewma]

I probably missed something but is the take up reel collecting the film with the film side out?

[nightcoderk]

Very cool project. How do you frame your compositions?

[marklawson]

Very clever and beautifully made great to make your own camera like that 😊👍🏻

Hello, I just started learning to 3D print and came across your project. This looks very cool! Thank you for sharing it. I have a few questions for you: 

0. What software do you use for designing? Any recommendations based on your experience?
1. Do you have an estimate on your timeline for the STLs for your 3rd version (V3) and the rough build cost/time?
2. Any estimates on the final weight/dimensions for V3?
3. Does the lens focusing ring move smoothly with v3 version? It looks like V2 basically uses a "lens board" so the focusing is smooth.
4. Do you think V3 still allow frames?

Don’t know much bout these but, there isn’t a shutter?
