Well this is so cool! Printed Packard shutter for my 35mm camera project and then saw this video. Gonna play around with some ideas. Thanks! Also really interested in new focal plane version, sounds great!
UPDATE on 3D printed camera shutter Hi everyone! Here is short update about what I have been up to lately. After some time I started to work again on new camera shutter design. I'm so sorry this takes so long because I had a lot of other work to do. Anyways... I radically changed design after I figured out that the old shutter mechanism just won't cut it. It was too large, winding mechanism sucked b*lls, it was too brittle, release mechanism wasn't accurate enough to achieve high speeds and so on. So I started from scratch, again. And some good ideas have come to my mind and then I started drawing. I based this new shutter on 6x7 format and it will be focal plane shutter type. I will build entire camera for 6x7 format, but if you want large format, you don't need to print entire camera, you just print shutter assembly and place front plane of shutter near large lens and it should work just as fine. Some details on new design: Release mechanism for curtains will be controlled by solenoids as they can be fast and easy to control. Winding and cocking mechanism will be crank mechanism, just like on Hasselblad. The big problem was to detach spools with curtains to winding mechanism while exposure is being taken but that was also solved with a solenoid and one gear. Plans for the future: Since I quitted my band and my radio show, now I have more free time on my hands to work on this besides work and other stuff. So things will move faster now. New shutter will be finished soon and tested for bugs and potential problems. After that I will continue to work with the rest of the camera and that will include: -Camera body -Cassettes with film (it will go behind camera, just like Hasselblad) -Mirror mechanism (SLR) (that also includes DIY foggy glass and even a removable Pentaprism style mirror assembly) -Electronics with OLED screen. -Lightmeter (I will put sensor in center of mirror) and potentially even an AUTO mode for automatic exposure. So that's it for now! I will put video of shutter test as soon as it will be printed. When entire camera will be finished, I will put long video how to assemble and how to tune camera mechanisms. As far as I know, this will be the best 3D printed camera in the world so I'm looking forward to finish this project finally. Cheers! ;)
This is fantastic, In my free time I design camera's. I have a DIY-Xpan and a DIY-Mamiya 7 with rangefinder, interchangeable lenses the whole shebang. But I still use second-hand copal shutters. The project I'm working on right now is to design a cloth shutter with integrated light-meter such it can be made AE. I would like to talk to you about further devolvement of this shutter. Please reply to this comment so we discuss the implementations
@@trippwilsonphoto So i already have a 47mm f8 super angulon that covers 6x9, I have that on my DIY-xpan that still has a leaf shutter and is fully mechanical. I will eventually buy a 45mm f4 from a bronica RF645 and re-house the lens elements so that i can use it for this project, a full on X-pan. However M mount lenses have a flange distance of 22mm (or there about) and the bronica has a flange mount of 44mm (or thereabout) so im still debating on how I'm going to implement both the 45mm f4 and an M-mount. I've already figured out the rangefinder, what type of optical elements and mechanism i will use. But I'm at the process now on how to re-tension the cloth shutter after it fired, you have any ideas? Also, why did you choose to have it be a horizontal cloth shutter and not a vertical cloth shutter? For me, i will use a horizontal because i'm limited in the space above. Second, what type of spring did you use for the shutter pull, a regular torsion spring i presume? Maybe we can help eachother, I would like to have your CAD files so it gets me started, and I can send you the formula for a 22mm field of view (45mm lens in x-pan format) rangefinder mechanism. Would you be interessted?
@@chobijn601 this is going to be very frustrating for you to hear, but i've only been working with physical parts. the the bodies casing i've been using wood to get the design to change as needed, i've taken bits from other cameras and ordered parts to my measurements, and im using bellows and a large format lens with a leaf shutter, trying to copy the plaubel makina 67 in many aspects. right now im working out my rangefinder mechanism. i'm very sorry to have to tell you that, but im not an engineer or a mechanic of any sort lol. im just a kid finishing up highschool building a camera in my bedroom. sorry sir. i do want to learn how to use cad software at some point, but i really don't have time for that right now.

Can’t wait for an update. Have you gotten in contact with lucus landers or Oscar Oweson from panomicron? I feel like someone has to save the future of the film camera! I hope Pentax will see success. We can’t lean on Leica as the sole manufacturer of film cameras!
@@thismightwork7390 Panomicron is this awesome project where they're 3d printing/adapting some pretty cool analogue photography things like a complete camera, rangefinder designs, lately an anamorphic lens etc. I'm sure they'd be keen to collab and/or share some resources and info. I tried to post a link to their site bit it appears to have been nuked by YT filters so would recommend Googling. Any updates on the new shutter you mentioned working on?

@@thismightwork7390 Awesome, understood. Is there anyway to get a hold of you like email? Someone recommended to me to use extension springs but the whole system would be very large. But when you perfect this I would definitely be interested in acquiring your services to build 1 or 2 shutters for my wildly large lenses for ultralarge format. Thank you. Be well!
@@kevinh5117 I used spring sheet, the kind of spring you find in tape meter and in clocks. I put it in to the drum piece that is adjustable so you can adjust tension and with that curtain speed. That means you can fine adjust timing of curtains so that they go the same speed. Does youtube still has inbox?

@@kevinh5117 I could, but before that I need to figure out mechanics, I need to make some kind of clutch because when the shutter is released it has to be free of motor. And not only that, the cocking mechanism must be precise enough so the both of curtains go closed so there is no light leak while cocking the shutter.
It's still not finished, I've been busy a lot. Maybe in winter I will have time to finish design and release STLs, if not, I will upload latest files and find hopefully someone who have time to work on it and eventually to make reliable version.

Anyways... I radically changed design after I figured out that the old shutter mechanism just won't cut it. It was too large, winding mechanism sucked b*lls, it was too brittle, release mechanism wasn't accurate enough to achieve high speeds and so on.
So I started from scratch, again. And some good ideas have come to my mind and then I started drawing.
I based this new shutter on 6x7 format and it will be focal plane shutter type. I will build entire camera for 6x7 format, but if you want large format, you don't need to print entire camera, you just print shutter assembly and place front plane of shutter near large lens and it should work just as fine.
Some details on new design: Release mechanism for curtains will be controlled by solenoids as they can be fast and easy to control. Winding and cocking mechanism will be crank mechanism, just like on Hasselblad. The big problem was to detach spools with curtains to winding mechanism while exposure is being taken but that was also solved with a solenoid and one gear.
Plans for the future:
Since I quitted my band and my radio show, now I have more free time on my hands to work on this besides work and other stuff. So things will move faster now.
New shutter will be finished soon and tested for bugs and potential problems. After that I will continue to work with the rest of the camera and that will include:
-Camera body
-Cassettes with film (it will go behind camera, just like hasselblad)
-Mirror mechanism (SLR) (that also includes DIY foggy glass and even a removable Pentaprism style mirror assembly)
-Electronics with OLED screen.
-Lightmeter (I will put sensor in center of mirror) and potentially even an AUTO mode for automatic exposure.
So that's it for now!
I will put video of shutter test as soon as it will be printed. When entire camera will be finished, I will put long video how to assemble and how to tune camera mechanisms.
As far as I know, this will be the best 3D printed camera in the world so I'm looking forward to finish this project finally.
Cheers! ;)
@@thismightwork7390 damn! I'm so keen to see this beast you've described in action!
@@thismightwork7390 Hey mate, any updates on the new shutter design you mentioned?
hello, can you upload this diy shutter parts?

Wow!
Would you consider selling custom shutters?
Thank you.
Be well
Sure! But I first need to perfect it. It needs to be reliable so it doesn't waste someones film. And I need to figure out better cocking mechanism.
@@thismightwork7390 Awesome, understood.
Is there anyway to get a hold of you like email?
Someone recommended to me to use extension springs but the whole system would be very large.
But when you perfect this I would definitely be interested in acquiring your services to build 1 or 2 shutters for my wildly large lenses for ultralarge format.
Thank you.
Be well!
@@kevinh5117 I used spring sheet, the kind of spring you find in tape meter and in clocks. I put it in to the drum piece that is adjustable so you can adjust tension and with that curtain speed. That means you can fine adjust timing of curtains so that they go the same speed. Does youtube still has inbox?

Hope it goes well. 6x7 modular SLR is a cool challenge for sure!
hello, what did you use for the springs?
Spring sheet metal from ordinary tape meter.
Check up new update text.
Could you use a linear actuator (electric motor powered). Or maybe a geared multirotor drone motor?
For what exactly?
@@thismightwork7390 oh sorry, I mean could you use a linear actuator or geared drone motor for cocking to the two blinds.
@@kevinh5117 I could, but before that I need to figure out mechanics, I need to make some kind of clutch because when the shutter is released it has to be free of motor. And not only that, the cocking mechanism must be precise enough so the both of curtains go closed so there is no light leak while cocking the shutter.
@@thismightwork7390 I believe in you! You can do it! Hehe
@@kevinh5117 Let's hope so! :)
Hows the dev going? are you planning on releasing this to the open source community?
It's still not finished, I've been busy a lot. Maybe in winter I will have time to finish design and release STLs, if not, I will upload latest files and find hopefully someone who have time to work on it and eventually to make reliable version.
@@thismightwork7390 looking forward to either releases!

Hello, can you send me your email address? Or some other platform where I can keep in touch with you? I’m currently making my pinhole tlr camera project and it would be amazing if I can use this shutter mechanism. I got everything except shutter mechanism, programming isn’t my strength :D. So my progress stoped at this point. It would help my so my much. Jan Merc
