If anyone still has one of the old Vivitar VI enlargers, here is a lensboard and a filter holder as both are unobtanium!

I would really like a finger-grip cover for a double flash socket. But I am not sure how to go about designing one.

Thank you for your experiment. My friend, a bookbinder, wanted to know if you can make such embossing tools for Leather with a 3D printer and if it works. Now I can at least give him hope.

Hi,
Small lettering is out of the question though as I had to thicken up the lines a bit as the first attempt didn't 3D print well. The lines of the letters here are about 0.6mm thick and the logo is about 32mm across. I used ABS as it was what I had in the printer at the time but I suppose PLA would do. Once printed I sanded the block lightly before embossing to remove the 3D printing artifacts. I actually used a bookbinding press to apply the pressure so your friend is half way there.

If you re using ABS you can also vapor smooth with acetone or even brush it on lightly for more smoothing. An ABS slurry in acetone is great for chemically welding ABS pieces together, it is very strong.

Thank you for your valuable tips regarding size, line thickness and aftercare!! &!

This is an adapter to add a Nikon DK-17M viewfinder magnifier to a Panasonic S1/S1R.
It uses this aftermarket eyepiece. The adapter is just glued onto that and the DK-17M is a tight friction fit into the adapter. It holds securely without anything extra so you can remove the DK-17M if desired and the entire eyepiece mounts to the S1R the normal way.

That one modified for a screw mount Leica would be awesome. The Nikon AR-1 doesn’t fit, I tested

I don't have a Leica. Not even a screw mount Leica.
The easiest thing would be to have a Leica handy so I can draw the model accordingly.
What I have is a Nikon cable release with the union nut. I don't know if it fits a Leica.
The thread should be the same. As far as I can see from pictures, there is very little space between the thread and the collar around the release on the Leica.
The wall thickness of the Nikon cable release is only 1 MM, minus the thread depth, which leaves about 0.5mm of wall thickness. That's very very little for a 3D print. It could easily break under a slight lateral load. Then you have the piece of plastic deep inside the Leica release and it's difficult or even impossible to get it out again.
This means:
Can you tell me the inner diameter of the collar around the release? I'd like to make the wall as thick as possible.
Do you have a 3D printer yourself and can you print it and test it?
I would/could redraw the model and send you the *.stl file, then you can try out whether it fits and whether it works.

The Nikon AR-1 physically fits the screw mount Leica (same thread) but the distance is too short. It means while screwing it on, it will immediately release the shutter and keep it pressed down. What I need is basically a longer version or I need to modify one of the AR-1 that I have.
I don’t have a 3D printer, would use the company in Kyoto again.

How much longer is longer ;-)
If you can work with the freecad software, or know someone who can work with freecad, then I will send you the file and you can modify it yourself. That would be the easiest solution.
Otherwise it could be an endless try and error.
The Freecad software is freeware. But having software is one thing, being able to work with it is a completely different matter.

Not sure if this was posted yet but here is a meter cover and a separate accessory shoe mount for a Canon 7.
The cover printed well enough with no supports.
The accessory shoe needed supports so looks a little rough. It fits very well but I'm not sure how durable it will be. Also the shoe itself is a little wide so a finder may wiggle a bit.

I purchased a 3D printed quick-load-style spool for my M2/M3, and it works great, plus makes loading much easier. The web site is www.cameractive.com.

Just found this reloadable 35mm film cassette.
www.thingiverse.com
Now we need a brave volunteer to try it out.
I would like to point out that black filament does not necessarily have to be light-tight!! This means that you should print with as many layers and perimeters as possible and perhaps wrap some black adhesive tape around it.
I take no responsibility, of course ;-)

I tried something similar for Karat casettes and you need at least 5 perimeters and good sanding to avoid scratching
I ended up spray painting mine with flat black 3 or 4 times and still not good enough
I guess a SLA printer would produce a smoother casette

Just as an example:
Prusament PLA Gravity Grey was the most light tight material I printed. More light tight than black or blue or . . .
Jayo PLA+ gives a smoother surface than Prusament PLA.
It seems to be a try and error game.

First attempt at making a flange for a copal 0 shutter. I did not really give enough clearance for the retaining ring.
I am finally getting the hang of the basics with tinkercad.

I print cameras. In PLA either Hatchbox black or eSun PLA+ black is opaque at about .3-.4mm. For ABS it is about the same. eSun ABS+ prints with a beautifully smooth finish it has terrible layer adhesion so I stick with Hatchbox.
I haven't tried it but Atomic filament claims to be opaque too, even some of their PETG. I think they even say after 1 layer.
I tried Paramount black ABS and it wasn't opaque even at like 1.5mm.
