There are films that don't have a DX code on the cartridge - for example Foma. This is usually not a problem, but it is necessary for some cameras.
As I didn't feel like playing around with adhesive tape or ordering a few stickers for which the postage is higher than the price of the stickers themselves, I designed a template that is placed on the film cartridge as a template and whose cutouts allow you to either scratch off the DX code or at least use it as a template.
I have currently drawn templates for ISO 100, ISO 200 and ISO 400. If anyone needs a specific ISO number, please let me know, there are lots of them.
Place the side with the bevelled corners on the film outlet and scratch off the paint from the film cartridge. For cartridges made of plastic or cardboard, you have to stick aluminum foil on and then transfer the grid.
To test it, I put the cartridge with the scratched-off DX code into a Canon EOS 600 and the camera recognized the correct ISO value every time.
Attention: the template ONLY transfers the ISO sensitivity code, NOT the number of possible exposures of the film and/or the exposure latitude. I still have to draw my own template for the number of exposures - if that is even necessary.
The 3D printing files can be downloaded here - free of charge, of course ;-)
