the spacers work really well but I'm still struggling to bend the new pickarm correctly. I would appreciate a tutorial on how to do this in the future!
this is really exciting! if this fixes the spread issues then the only thing left is the black bar at the bottom. I've been thinking about opening mine up and looking to see how structural the bits that get in the way there are
Unfortunately it seems like the black bar will be very difficult to remove due to the film area of 600/I-Type being longer than Spectra. If you look at my previous video of this prototype idea, you can see the size of the exposure area. The problem is that the back wall is non removable so you can't really DIY a new wall to push the cartridge in further, you would either have to tilt the cartridge down (which will make the image out of focus), transfer the film to a new holder, make a new optic system, or cut some parts off the camera. Those are the current ideas I have now, though the goal is to not damage/permamently alter the camera.
@@robertw1469 yeah I'm currently trying to figure out what bits would be feasible to cut out and what would actually need to be removed, I have a spare spectra camera so I'm okay going destructive with it
Hey Robert! Looking to print and adapt this to use in my Macro 5 SLR. Have you had any more luck with the spreading issues? Also any chance of a guide on bending the wire for the take up claw? Thanks!
hi Robert, I have the Polaroid "IMAGE SYSTEM", I followed your videos, I printed the supports to adapt the cartridges to the tuypes but I'm struggling with the iron hook because (I must have folded it wrong) but nothing comes out, on an electrical level it's ok but I also have another problem: I took the battery from a 600 cartridge, I put it in the spectra cartridge with only one photo, I put it in the polaroid but nothing comes out.
Looks promising. Excited for V.2+! Thank for your continued efforts. 🙏 ***** 》 Have you considered some sort of (limited) crowdfunding for needed "testing supplies"? If it would help push it along I'm sure there could be willing supporters. And maybe help spread the word; still amazed your project only pops up here+there in YT comments/reddit etc.
Not yet as it's hard to covey how to make the pick arm correctly as it's mostly about feel. Else if you figure that out, then the rest should be self explainatory if you look at the video and pictures on Printables hard enough.

This is the best adapter design I've seen yet!

@@robertw1469 definitely interested in a bending guide too, I'm eager to test this
La camara no esta modificada? Y es un cartucho de 600?

Looks promising.
Excited for V.2+!

agreed, I'm also pretty broke but if all of us broke people chipped in
Any update?
is there a tutorial on how to fully put it together

Very cool is it 3d printed?
Check the description dude
