35mm film mask insert for Mamiya RZ67 220 back

prusaprinters

XPan, but SLR :D I can't afford buying XPan and wanted to have more framing control than rangefinder cameras offer, so after a lot of experimentation I found out a way to shoot 6x17 (or more like 24x65) on my Mamiya RZ67 with 220 back. For the moment general idea and tutorial is on my highlighterd story One thing I was lacking was proper film flatness, as almost all 135 film tends to curl in this scenario, thus only the horizontal center is in proper focus plane. Not anymore, as I finally bought a 3d printer last week :D This is a simple snap-in pressure mask, that hold about 2mm of film (top an bottom edges), making sure it stays flat. Instalation is quite straightformard, can't be installed the wrong way (no, I'm not holding your beer...). At this moment I've tested this with one roll and everything seems to be working, nothing gets scratched - I've used Fiberlogy Impact PLA, but I suppose black nylon or PET-G could be better. Important thing is to print it upside down, so the side touching the film is the smoothest and it won't need supports. I know this isquite niche accessory, but maybe someone will find it useful ;) Print Settings Printer Brand: Creality Printer: Ender 3 Pro Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.12-0.16 Infill: 10-20 Filament: Fiberlogy Impact PLA Notes: On classic FDM printers, print it upside-down, so the side touching the film is smoothest Category: DIY
