    I was toying with the idea of selling this one seeing how much work i put into it.
    Was thinking three options.
    1. Just the printable files, which means people would need to source their own hardware
    2. The printable files as well as all the hardware needed to build it, is screws, thumbscrews, knobs and gears
    3. A kit to build one, it would be all the parts printed, ready to assemble along with the hardware needed.
    Not sure what people would be interested in. Just gauging interest at this stage.

      Please, do provide the files, whether free, or for sale. I made your 617 half-plate back, it was a fun project that helped me put an old camera back in use. I would love to build this project also.

      Honestly, all three options are viable. Why not offer the files and all the parts individually and let people choose what they want to make and what they want to buy? I’d want to buy all the hardware and make the wooden parts myself. I’d also want to have a go at making my own bellows. Selling your film cassette as a completely package also makes sense for someone without a 3D printer.

      @kmcsmart interesting, you are going to make the base parts out of wood? Were you planning on doing this by hand or by CNC, only asked because the tolerances for a smooth focussing action are pretty tight. A part of my brain has considered buying a cheap CNC and trying my hand at making some of the parts in wood, but the mess, ohhhh the mess.
      Good point about the options though.

      @@thefilmlaundry I’m a furniture maker so I’d love the challenge of doing it by hand but maybe like your bellows adventure I might end up throwing in the towel:) I regularly make my own plywood from layers of thin veneer using a vacuum press bag. I’d probably try something like that but a good handplane can also make a .001” shaving no problem. I have a full workshop so the mess would be fine with me.

      I'm jealous, I'm building all this in an apartment 🤦🏻‍♂️
      True, it's amazing how precise woodworking can be when you know what you are doing, I love watching New Yorkshire Workshops channel, his skills are insane.

    I'd be keen to see a video of how you made the bellows and would be great to get a set of files if you end up selling them so I could print/build my own. As usual your video is inspiring and shows what can be done at home without a massive amount of tools and equipment. Keep up the great work

      I've started planning the bellows video.
      As for the files, I'm going to try sending off the front and rear standards to be printed in carbon fibre, if they work out, then I'll go live with the files.

    Wow, this is amazing. What great work you’ve done. Your modifications are spot on. Why make it more complicated than it has to be. Great work and thanks for sharing it all with us.

    Inspiring work! I'd be keen on the files or perhaps a kit, depending on what you decide to do. Either way, phenomenal final result!

      Thanks. Currently working on tidying up the 3d files, amazing the difference between, good enough for me, and good enough for wider release.

    I have a shen hao 617 and I absolutely love it. The cam for the front shift as well as the back shift are not great. They do not actually hold very tightly. Luckily, it is not a huge deal, but it does cause an issue from time to time.
    I'd be really excited if you could use all your newfound skill to 3d print a 617 enlarger so I can bother you about that.

    • @thefilmlaundry
      @thefilmlaundry  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Your lucky I didn't know that before, I would have hassled you for close up photos of the parts. There was a part of my brain that wanted to replicate them just because 🤦🏻‍♂️
      Ohhhh, the 617 enlarger is definitely on my roadmap as I would love to print some of my shots, seems a shame to have all that resolution in the neg but not use it.

    Rolo my long haired miniature Dachshund say's hi back. Very nicely done. I am looking forward to seeing you use it and show the pictures in a future video 🤞The one thing I miss being retired now is having access to machines to make my own cameras that I had when I was an engineer and working. I would be making my own version of this for sure.

    • @thefilmlaundry
      @thefilmlaundry  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Rolo.
      The great thing about 3d printing is you don't need a lot of tools, this camera was literally built in an apartment, with nothing more than a 3d printer and a few odd hand tools, nothing more complicated than a screw driver, hand drill and soldering iron.

      Haaa, ok I'll need a short while to build up the energy to go anywhere near bellows again, but I will make at some stage 🤣

    Amazing!
    A couple of questions and points
    1) would you consider making this 3D model available for purchase?
    a) Also, you could consider using nylon printed gears. Nylon has been used for years in engineering, as it’s quite stable and self-lubricates (though might be worth sending them away to print, as it can be tricky if your printer is a basic model! As it’s susceptible to moisture issues)
    b) I’d definitely be keen on bellows instructions.
    Cheers 😊

      For the Aluminium order it worked out at $246 USD (I accidentally said the AUD price was USD in the video)
      I'm going to see how the PLA gears go, I did find a gear that looks like it should work on Ali Express but they didn't feel as smooth, not sure if their dimensions are off slightly or mine are. Either way the PLA is working now and feels really smooth to use so I'll stick with them until they fail 🤣

    Hi to your cat, and here’s hoping no letters from are arriving from IP protection lawyers demanding you beep out trademark names….
    I was expecting a new build or major mod to drop soon, but thought you might go down the Mamiya super 23 route… I’m not disappointed tho, is awesome. Look forward to seeing the results.

    • @thefilmlaundry
      @thefilmlaundry  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Haaaa, Ned says hi back.
      I doubt I'd hear anything, besides, then they would have to answer for the fact that their camera is a direct clone of the original Ebony 617 camera. In fact the Shen Hao shares more in common with the Ebony than mine does with the Shen Hao 🤣
      The Mamiya is still on my list of projects, just not yet.

    Ive been looking for something like this for the last 5 months... I printed a 4x5 camera lately and i'm trying to adapt the 6x17 film holder you made for the 4,5x5,5 for my format. Is being a real pain.
    If by any chance you decide to share the files used in this video (I know you payed for some) you will make a spaniard incredibly happy. (Willing to pay a bit for those files)

      @@thefilmlaundry in my opinión the last two are the ones that have a good chance. At least i dont see the point of buying the printables without knowing what I need to put everything together :).
      Another option is to follow the Creative commons path. You can find several cameras under this registration (I can share some links if you want). Is free for personal use and (for me) the most attractive one considering the 3d printing comunity.
      Either way is a stunning work and I'm really looking forward to print It myself!

    I will like to know how much $$ will you ask for the film holder I don’t know how to use a 3D printer, never own one!! But I can do the rest with wood and aluminum!
