So I just published my (free) sports finder model for the Kodak Target Brownie Six-16 design. Makes shooting this camera much more of a joy! (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4639795)
 
Hardly crazy (well, in so far as any of us who still use box cameras aren't...) - it's very like the period ones you sometimes found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPwgB8uYg5g

I'd never have thought of 3D-printing one but thenI don't have a 3D printer...

I used the sports finder on my Speed Graphic all the time when I still had one! Since I couldn't figure out an easy way to include parallax correction, this just designed for infinity. If it becomes a problem, maybe I'll adjust it for something like 14'.

I didn't plan on getting into 3D printing, but my teenage son came home with a broken printer in a bag of parts and since I was having trouble figuring out something like this using wood and cloth hangers, so I took the dive into fixing the printer and learning how to use it! Very cool technology and surprisingly cheap. Mine is a $159 Ender 3 straight from China!

Think when I'm ready to drop down to 6x9, I'll scale this down for my sweet little Box Tengar!
