DIY SLR "OpenReflex" via 3D printing

[raytoei@gmail.com]

"The magic of 3D printing has led to the creation of a few pretty cool DIY projects we’ve featured in the past. In the world of cameras, we’ve seen everything from lens adapters to flash diffusers make their way into the real world via the 3D printer and some plastic. What we had never seen before now, however, was a fully operational 3D printed SLR camera, but freshly graduated design student Léo Marius has created just that!
He’s calling it the “OpenReflex,” and it’s an open source analog SLR with a mirror viewfinder and mechanical shutter that you can build entirely on your own. All of the pieces can be printed on any recent RepRap-like ABS 3D-printer, after which assembly is fairly straightforward."

Perhaps....a scale focus LTM, M-Mount camera next ?

I like how you think. A Leica Standard (or 1c or 1g) look-alike with an M-mount, what a camera that could be. (sure they've already made the Zeiss Ikon SW, but it's expensive and discontinued)

Only if the patent is free now!
Look-alike sounds to much as fake watches to me..
